Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.
Step 2
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Add the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Step 7
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and optionally garnish the sauce with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve the warm mushroom sauce over freshly sliced meatloaf and enjoy!
