Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
• 1 (12 ounce) package white mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
• 8 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste
• 0.25 cup chopped onion
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup beef stock
• 0.25 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 0.25 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it begins to soften and turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and salt; stir well and cook until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Combine beef stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce in a small measuring cup. Pour into the skillet and stir in thyme sprigs and pepper; bring to a boil.

Step 3

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until liquid has reduced and sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
