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.

Absolutely delicious! I made several changes to this sauce and it turned out wonderfully on top of our filet mignon!! I melted ¼ cup (1/2 stick of butter, then added in white button mushrooms, chopped scallions and 3-4 minced garlic cloves. Sauteed all with a little salt and black pepper until mushrooms were soft. Added dried thyme and red wine, cooking it down until wine almost all gone. Added beef broth and cooked down 75%. Took it off the heat and added in heavy cream. Replaced the chives with fresh chopped flat leaf parsley because that is what I had on hand. Seasoned with salt and pepper. I’m not a big sautéed mushroom eater but I was making this for my husband, tried it, and thought that it was absolutely delicious!!
