Mushroom and Red Wine Reduction Sauce

Summary

• Source: Epicurious
• Genre: Sauce
• Prep Time: < 5 minutes
• Cooking Time: 5 minutes
• Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 tsp thyme
• 3/4 cup dry red wine

Directions:

1. If you have just finished making the pan seared steak, do not clean the pan. The little bits of browned meat left over will add a tremendous amount of flavor to this sauce!
2. Heat the skillet under medium-low heat. When hot, add the butter. Stir occasionally until it fully melts.
3. Add the shallot and mushrooms. Saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in wine and add thyme. The wine will deglaze the pan, so use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the bits of leftover food to flavor the sauce. Cook approximately 5 minutes until wine is reduced by half. Pour over steaks and serve immediately.
