Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thinly slice approximately 8 ounces of your favorite mushrooms and finely chop 2 shallots. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Lower the heat and add the chopped shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until soft, then add minced garlic for an additional minute.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and pour in 1 cup of dry red wine to deglaze the pan, simmering for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup of beef broth and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, simmering for 7-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. For a thicker sauce, create a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cold broth or water, then whisk into sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Optional: Stir in a dash of heavy cream.
  8. Spoon the sauce over grilled steaks or serve on the side.
