Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

  • a third of a cup of unsalted butter

  • 8 ounces of sliced white mushrooms

  • minced 1 medium shallot

  • 2 crushed garlic cloves

  • Crushed dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon

  • 3 tablespoons of regular flour

  • Marsala wine, 1/4 cup

  • one cup of beef broth, or more if necessary

  • two teaspoons of port wine (Optional)

  • To taste, add salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Method:

  1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. When the mushrooms are ready, add them along with the shallot, garlic, and rosemary. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. Add flour to the mushroom mixture and stir continuously for a minute. Pour the marsala into the pan to deglaze it, then cook for about two minutes.

  3. Turn the heat up to medium, stir in the beef broth and port, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the sauce begins to reduce and thicken to your taste. Taste each ingredient, season with salt and pepper to taste, and make any necessary adjustments.

Cook's Tip: 


  • Sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days; simply rewarm before serving. You can substitute thyme for the rosemary and baby bella mushrooms for the white ones if you'd like.
