Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tbsp olive oil
300g / 10 oz mushrooms (, sliced (Note 1))
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/4 cup (65 ml) white wine or rose (, dry (Note 2 subs))
Heat oil and melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and leisurely cook until golden brown - takes about 4 to 5 minutes. No need to stir constantly.
Just before they're done, add the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden (~ 1 minute).
Add white wine - it will sizzle! Stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, for 1 minute or until mostly evaporated.
Add broth, cream and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to medium so the sauce is simmering - do not boil rapidly, cream may split.
Stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until it thickens. It shouldn't be super thick, this is a rich sauce.
Stir through thyme, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from stove.
Serve over steak or other cooked protein. Toss through pasta, stuff into baked potatoes, serve with roast beef, chicken or pork, smothered omelettes. See in post for more ideas!

Tiffany Price on 2026-06-09 (5 stars): My husband declared this the BEST mushroom sauce he's EVER tasted. I completely agree! The parmesan is brilliant!
Lydia on 2026-04-16 (5 stars): I have finally found a mushroom sauce that I will make over and over again. This recipe is absolutely delicious. I didn't read all of the notes and used packet grated pamesan( the 1st time). I promise I'll read the whole recipe next time. It was still a big hit with cabbage rolls. Thank you for sharing.
Lydia on 2026-04-16 (5 stars): I have finally found a mushroom sauce that i will make over and over again. This recipe is absolutely delicious even if I didn't read all of the notes and used packet grated partisan( the 1st time). I promise I'll read the whole recipe next time. Thank you for sharing.

Lesley on 2026-04-12 (5 stars): The best mushroom sauce I’ve ever had. Restaurant quality. The umami flavour was (insert chef kiss)
Fiona on 2026-01-10 (5 stars): This is so delicious I want to slather it on everything. I used all chicken broth because I didn't have wine in the pantry and it still tasted great.
Judith Connor on 2025-12-31 (5 stars): I just made this on New Year’s Eve 2025 to go with our steaks. I have made it dozens of times! Thanks for this great recipe!

Zach Hall on 2025-11-28 (5 stars): Made this last evening with chicken and rice pilaf. Was very good. I do prefer a thicker sauce and next time will either limit the broth or mix with a corn starch slurry to give it some thickness. But everyone loved it. Will try it with mashed potatoes next time.
Sarah on 2025-11-25 (5 stars): Oops… forgot to give a star rating and to say I had it with spaghetti! I cooked the spaghetti to nearly done and finished it off in the sauce.
Carol on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): I’ve made this a few times with grilled chicken and pasta and it’s absolutely delicious!! It’s restaurant worthy. Tonight I’m going to make beef stroganoff with this sauce. I imagine it’s going to be totally delicious.
Jamie on 2025-11-14 (5 stars): Love most of your recipes Nagi, and this one did not disappoint. so good!!
GL on 2025-11-08 (5 stars): Thumbs up. Totally outclassed some supermarket steak! (I did use a small splash of brandy instead of wine I didn’t have.)
I wasn’t sure how well it would reheat, given the cream, but that was excellent too with my breakfast sausage and egg.
Thanks Nagi!
Alisdair on 2025-10-07 (5 stars): Made this and added chicken, was very nice on mashed potato!
