Step-by-Step Instructions for Ultimate Creamy Mushroom Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling. Add 1 thinly sliced brown onion and cook for about 1.5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and translucent.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in 8 ounces of sliced brown mushrooms. Allow to sauté for roughly 8 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Lower the heat back to medium-low and add 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing until fragrant for about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a spatula. Allow to simmer and reduce for about 1.5 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat further to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream along with 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a splash of cold water. Gradually add this to the skillet while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
