Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small shallots, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry sherry
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 3
Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
Step 4
Pour in the dry sherry and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to concentrate.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, chicken or vegetable stock, and chopped thyme. Simmer the sauce gently for 5 minutes to let it thicken and develop the flavors.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Serve warm over your favorite dishes such as steak, chicken, fish, or mashed potatoes.
