Description

This rich and creamy Mushroom Sauce Steak recipe features sautéed cremini or portobello mushrooms in a luscious garlic-infused cream sauce, perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs and soy sauce. A comforting and elegant sauce that pairs beautifully with steak or other grilled meats for a flavorful dinner.


Ingredients

Mushrooms and Aromatics

  • 8 oz fresh cremini or portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce Components

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley and thyme)


Instructions

  1. Prep: Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and slice them uniformly. Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure even flavor distribution. This prep takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: In a skillet or pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for approximately 7 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their moisture.
  3. Build the Sauce: Pour in the low-sodium beef broth followed by the heavy cream. Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients smoothly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce base is warm and uniform.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Add the soy sauce and fresh herbs (parsley and thyme) to the pan. Stir to incorporate and allow the sauce to thicken slightly, cooking for another 5 minutes. Add a final bit of butter to enrich the texture and flavor just before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and butter with olive oil, although it will alter the flavor profile.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to better control the saltiness of the sauce.
  • This mushroom sauce pairs excellently with grilled or pan-seared steak, roasted chicken, or even as a topping for mashed potatoes.
  • Fresh thyme and parsley lend a bright herbal note, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch—reduce quantity to about 1 tsp each.
  • Ensure mushrooms are sliced evenly for consistent cooking and texture.
