Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

Dana and I love grilled steaks.  However, after a few steak dinners, it can get a little old.  The best way to spice up a steak dinner is to add a sauce to the steak.   There is nothing that compliments a great steak better than a nice mushroom sauce.  I came up with sauce after watching Dana saute up some mushrooms for her Marsala sauce.  I figured I could make a nice sauce using a similar method.  The sauce came out great and will now become a staple in the household.

Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Shrooms

Add the mushrooms, garlic and onions.

Start to Saute

Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender and just start to brown, about 12 minutes. Don’t worry, the mushrooms will first release their liquid before the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms fully cook.

Continue to cook

Add the broth and red wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, roughly 12 minutes.

Add the red wine

Stir in the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Reduced

Set aside and keep warm until your steaks are ready to serve.

Perfectly cooked

Serve your steaks with the sauce over them.
