Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced
2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as crimini, oyster, shiitake, chanterelle, or white, trimmed and sliced
Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
1/4 cup reserved beef broth (drippings from roast) or low-sodium canned broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Directions

Place a clean skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and a 2-count drizzle of oil. When the butter starts to foam, add the shallots and saute for 2 minutes to soften. Add the mushrooms and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together for a few minutes. Add the red wine, stirring to scrape up any stuck bits; then cook and stir to evaporate the alcohol. When the wine is almost all gone, add the reserved beef juices. Let the liquid cook down and then take it off the heat. Stir in the cream and chives, and season with salt and pepper.

Great as a vegetarian gravy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as a vegetarian option for gravy for Canadian Thanksgiving - it was great on mashed potatoes and on it's own. We... used creme fraiche, rather than regular heavy cream, and, obviously, replaced the beef stock with vegetable stock. Delicious! Read more

I loved this recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even though I was missing a few fresh ingredients and had to substitute garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian... seasoning for the fresh thyme, shallots, and chives, this recipe came out great! It tastes very elegant, yet was simple to make. I tripled the recipe (I like a lot of sauce) and served it over broiled sirloin steaks with a side of angel hair pasta and asparagus--AWESOME!Read more
