- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to become creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add cooked chicken or pork to the sauce for a heartier meal, or serve it over egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a complete dish.
