Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium, finely chopped shallots
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 8 ounces, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1/3 cup dry sherry
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 2
Add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Step 5
Pour in the dry sherry and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sherry has mostly reduced.
Step 6
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and fresh thyme. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 8
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm over steaks, chicken, pasta, or potatoes.
