Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thinly slicing your choice of mushrooms and finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic.
  2. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, sautéing them for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Reduce heat slightly, add chopped shallots, and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and pour in ¾ cup of dry red wine, scraping any brown bits from the skillet. Simmer for around 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup of beef broth and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. If desired, whisk together 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour with a small amount of broth to create a slurry and stir into the sauce until thickened.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Optional: stir in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream for silkiness.
  8. Remove from heat and let the sauce rest briefly before serving over cooked steak or alongside roasted vegetables.
