Ingredients

• 2 pounds Button mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Dry red wine (Burgundy or similar)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if needed. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the pot, stirring to coat them evenly with the butter, oil, and aromatics.

Step 6

Pour in the red wine, beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together.

Step 7

Add the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mushrooms cook for about 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce slightly for an additional 15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Transfer the Burgundy mushrooms to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using), and serve warm. Enjoy!
