Ingredients for Creamy Mushroom Sauce

To make this creamy mushroom sauce recipe, you will need the following basic ingredients; mushrooms, olive oil, shallots, butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, white wine, and beef broth, heavy cream, thyme, and parmesan cheese. It's so flavorful and easy to prepare! It takes about 13-15 minutes of cooking time!

• Mushrooms: In this recipe, I used white (button) mushrooms. Cremini, Portobello, Shiitake, Oyster, Porcini, or a combination of these mushrooms will also work great.
• Broth: You can use any type of stock/broth of your choice, such as; chicken, vegetable, or beef broth. I used beef broth for a richer flavor and because I was going to serve the sauce with steak.

• Wine: Wine adds acidity to a dish, as a result, it brings out flavors in all kinds of dishes, especially in sauces. I highly recommend using dry white or rosé wine to make this creamy mushroom sauce. I personally used rosé wine because it's the perfect type of wine to make a great sauce for meat and fish dishes. The acid brightens the flavors and gives a more aromatic twist to the mushroom sauce. Feel free to use red wine if that's the only thing available in your pantry!
• Heavy Cream: You may substitute an equal amount of heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk with extra butter.  Heavy creams contain more fat than half-and-half-creams and are also more resistant to curdling, so they are a better choice in soups and sauces. 
• Dijon Mustard: This is one of the key ingredients to making this tasty sauce, so be sure not to skip it!

3. Add the wine and reduce to a thicker consistency (evaporated), scraping up any browned bits then add broth and heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce is thickened. This process should take about 4-5 minutes.
