    Mushroom Cream Sauce Roadmap

    As promised, here: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...49#post1557849

    INGREDIENTS
    --------
    ​2-4 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    --------
    8 ounces fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced (white or Cremini, baby Bella, etc. (baby Bella will create a darker colored sauce)) You can substitute reconstituted dried mushrooms but they can be a bit chewy.
    --------
    1 clove fresh garlic, small, finely diced or pressed (substitute 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder per clove)
    1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    1/2-1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence (substitute
    Italian seasoning)
    1 tablespoon Green Peppercorns (dried), crushed, optional
    --------
    1-3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, whole or finely chopped (Substitute thyme sprigs, separated and tied into bundles (see Note)) (optionally substitute half as much dried thyme for fresh)
    --------
    1-2 tablespoons flour, to make a light roux
    --------
    1/4-1/2 cup vermouth or wine (to match the protein)
    1/2-1 cup stock, chicken or beef - to match the dish (substitute vegetable stock)
    -------
    1/2 cup half-and-half (substitute equal amount of evaporated milk)
    1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, optional for garnish
    --------
    Salt & pepper to taste
    --------
    DESCRIPTION
    The light version is made with white wine, chicken stock, and button mushrooms be served typically with pork or chicken:

    Or ... the dark version, made with red wine, beef stock, and Baby Bella mushrooms is designed to be served primarily with red meats:
    --------
    DIRECTIONS
    This dish is at its best if you make the sauce in the same pan (fat, fond, and all) that was used to sear the protein.
    ----------------
    Note: Temperature settings below such as "[IND 4-5]" refer to specific settings on the Bosch induction cooktop (power settings range from 0 (off) to 9 (high)).
    ----------------
    The Fat (Medium-Low [IND 4-5]):
    ·Melt butter slowly over medium heat in a large skillet and add olive oil.

    The Mushrooms (Medium-High [IND 7-8]):
    ·Increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced mushrooms and lightly brown; approximately 5 minutes.
    ·Season with salt, pepper, sugar.

    The Garlic, Herbs, and Seasonings (Medium [IND 5-6]):
    ·Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Do not allow to brown.
    ·Stir in mustard, Herbs de Provence, and crushed green peppercorns (if using) being careful to coat everything thoroughly.

    Thicken (Medium [IND 5-6]):
    ·Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until just starting to turn slightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
    ·Cook for about 1 more minute and add the wine. Stir to deglaze the pan.

    The Liquids (Medium [IND 5-6]):
    ·Add the stock and the cream and simmer, stirring often, for additional 5 minutes or more, until thick and creamy. The Herbs (Medium [IND 5-6]):
    ·If using dried thyme, add it now. If fresh, add at least half now; reserving the remainder for adding at the end as a garnish.

    Finish (Low [IND 1-2] then [Keep Warm]):
    ·Reduce heat to low. If using fresh thyme, carefully remove any spent sprigs.
    ·Add a little (very little) more fresh thyme leaves (no sprigs), salt, and pepper, as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, optional.
    ·Set heat to [Keep Warm]; keep covered until time to serve.

    NOTES

    About Fresh Thyme: Too much can quickly become overwhelming ... so be careful. You should be wary of using difficult to measure loose "sprigs" ... although sprigs tied into bundles do make it a lot easier to manage.

    There is a steakhouse in my ‘hood with a board for available steaks and then you order your sides separately. They have the standard options including green beans, potatoes, and mushrooms. Always with some seasonal twist but their mushrooms have really impressed me. I have no mushroom intuition other than butter - this is just the ticket for me to branch out!! Thank you!! 🔥🔥🐿️

      yakima and anyone else who visits Seattle. You have got to go to the Shambles. The place is really worth a thorough review. They cook all steaks MR by plan frying in tallow and then throw it into a salamander. They have all the artisan cuts and the war horse models as well. You can get in their waitlist using open table. The bartenders are wonderful. The food is really good and it’s pretty damn reasonable considering how awesome it is. 🔥🔥🐿️

          Very interestingly, I just made chicken with mushroom sauce a couple-three nights ago! But I skipped the roux and went straight for the heavy cream because I had a cup of it left over from some fettuccini Alfredo earlier in the week, and also skipped the white wine because I didn’t want to open a bottle of wine to use a quarter cup of it. But it’s pretty adaptable. Mine came out delicious. Mushrooms and garlic sautéed in 50/50 butter and olive oil, add cream, chicken broth, and herbs, over sautéed chicken and into the oven until 165°.

          Nice recipe. Thank you!

          I like the fact that you thicken your sauce with a light roux. A lot of mushroom sauce recipes skip that step. The mouthfeel of a thicker mushroom sauce can be decadent, IMO.

            Haha, Mosca and I were posting at the same time, mentioning the roux.

            Twinkie pinky time.

              Mine came out a little thin at the end, so I add a T of cornstarch in cold water to bring it up a bit. I didn’t want to keep cooking and thickening because the chicken was 170°, and you can definitely overcook braised chicken (having done it numerous times).

            Read post early this AM and shortly thereafter told swmbo we having beef "Stroganoff" aka Morgans Magic Mushroom sauce for dinner.
            Used the green peppercorns in brine (wasn't sure that's what is referenced in recipe or another type but I used them brine things), garlic powder as I had no fresh 🤷.
            Added some sliced onion and green pepper or as it's called your area of the globe, bell pepper. Other than that I followed clearly.
            Was yummy in my tummy.

              Looks great! I typically use dried green peppercorns ... but no reason the ones in brine shouldn't work at least as well.

            Thanks, I added it to my Paprika recipes.

              Another winner, MB! Coincidentally, whilst rummaging through the pantry this afternoon I came across a nice jar of Italian tuna. Guess what's for supper tomorrow!

                Will be adapting this to fit my temporary dietary restrictions and serving over noodles for my dinner tomorrow.

                  Just imported to Paprika. Well documented recipe. Thanks for including the file.

                  Very close cousin to a mushroom sauce I do only I too use heavy cream (half & half a bit more friendly to the diet), use a cornstarch slurry (ilo a roux) but do not include the dijon which I shall try in my version. Love the slight acidity and tang it adds to other sauces. Also finish mine off the heat with some whole butter, gives the sauce an extra creaminess and sheen.

                    My version. Used your idea of the dijon in it.
