Description

Rich and savory mushroom sauce, ready in under 20 minutes.
Perfect for steaks, schnitzels, or pasta.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 oz (150 g) button mushrooms
  • 5 fl oz (150 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp ground sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
  2. Heat the cooking oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry until lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Reduce heat to medium.
  3. Cook the Sauce:
  4. Add the thickened cream to the saucepan with the mushrooms. Season with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring the cream doesn’t overboil.
  5. Add Garlic and Parsley:
  6. Once the sauce has reduced by half, add the crushed garlic. Cook for another minute to infuse the garlic flavor.
  7. Finish and Serve:
  8. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Top the sauce with chopped parsley. Serve hot over your favorite steak or pasta.
  9. Reheat Instructions:
  10. To reheat, place the saucepan on low heat and let the sauce melt and heat through gently.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use cremini or shiitake mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
  • To prevent the sauce from separating, whisk the cream continuously while simmering.
  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
