I grew up eating mushrooms and have always been the biggest, the most devoted
fan and so has my husband. We are currently working on our kids although they
remain unconvinced that "shrooms aren't evil"
Creamy Cognac Mushroom Steak Sauce #steaksauce #mushroomsauce
Because of my extensive mushrooms "experience" I wanted to share one
of my favourite sauces. This creamy mushroom sauce goes brilliantly with pretty
much anything but especially steak!
The grilling season is upon up and it;s a matter of extreme importance to have
several sauces for your grilled meats.
Creamy Cognac Mushroom Steak Sauce
How do you make a mushroom sauce for steak?
This particular mushroom steak sauce is quite luxurious as it's made with cream
and a good splash of cognac for extra flavour.
You can always use brandy or even whiskey if you don't have cognac available.
I've had just a tiny drop left from Christmas and it went right into this
delicious mushroom steak sauce.
You might not think adding a bit of booze makes much of a difference but it
truly does. It deepens the flavour, and in this case cognac added a touch of
sweetness to the sauce.
No, it will not taste of alcohol and it is not harmful for children considering
what minute amount they would ingest.
Now let's talk about mushrooms.
How to get the most flavour out of mushrooms for the steak sauce?
Here are my tips!
|
|
| . | Choose mushrooms that have more flavour: chestnut mushrooms, portobello or shiitake.
|
| . | Mushrooms need to be browned, not simply sautéed. You will want to see some colour on them.
|
| . | Use butter or extra virgin olive oil for cooking.
|
| . | Choose a herb you love and add it to your mushrooms for a beautiful flavour pairing.
|
| . | Don't forget salt and pepper and don't be shy!

Ingredients
|
| Qty | Meas |
|
| 2 | tbsp | butter
|
| 1/2 | onion | medium
|
| 2 | cups/ 200g | chestnut mushrooms
|
| 1 | clove garlic
|
| 1 | tbsp | cognac or brandy
|
| 1 | cup/250ml | heavy cream/double cream
|
| 2 | tbsp | creme fraiche optional
|
| 1 | tsp | flat leaf parsley chopped
|
| | salt and pepper to taste
|
Directions
|
|
| In a small skillet melt the butter and add sliced mushrooms with a pinch of
salt, brown over medium heat to get some colour on them. (If mushrooms release
too much liquid and are steaming instead of browning, turn up the heat.)
|
| Once mushrooms are browned turned the heat to low and add finely chopped
onions, (add 1 tbsp of butter if the skillet is too dry) and cook the onions for
10 minutes until they are limp and translucent, stir once in a while to prevent
burning. (Don't rush this step, it's important that the onions are fully cooked.)
Then add minced garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds.
|
| Pour in cognac or brandy and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, then add cream,
creme fraiche if using, salt, pepper and chopped parsley, stir and let it simmer
for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve with steak, chicken, pork chops or roasted vegetables.
