This creamy mushroom sauce is my favourite creamy sauce to pair with my steak. My all-time favourite is still a pepper sauce but this is my go-to for a creamy sauce. I made it for my mother-in-law the other day and she loved it so much that she asked for the recipe. So here I am madly typing away (before I forget!) so that she can make some for later.
Although this creamy mushroom sauce is great with steak, it might also be useful for chicken and mushroom pies if you want to give that a go. My father-in-law recently got a pie maker and has been itching to try it. I’ll post an update once I’ve tried it.
Serves 6 (approx. 169 calories per serve)
Prep time 15 mins
Cook time 15 mins
Ingredients
50g butter
1/2 onion, minced
150g mushrooms (mince 50g and slice the remaining 100g)
120ml dry white wine
50ml water
120ml thickened cream
1 vegetable stock cube
20g plain flour
Salt and pepper to taste (approx. 1/2 tsp)
Note: If you’re looking for a great sauce pitcher, this is similar to one that we use (although bigger, which is better!).
Melt the butter in a pan and sautee the onion and mushroom until softened. Stir in the dry white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, I pre-cook the sliced mushrooms by microwaving it in a bowl with 50ml water. It doesn’t take long to cook – just 1 minute or so and it releases its juices out.
Add the sliced mushrooms, thickened cream and vegetable stock cube and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Gradually add in the flour, mixing vigorously so the sauce does not get lumps of flour in it. Let it thicken to desired consistency (to coat a spoon), season with salt and pepper and serve with your steak of choice.
