How to Make Creamy Mushroom Whiskey Steak Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until soft, translucent, and slightly golden (about 3 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced, and toss immediately to coat with the butter mixture.
- Sauté mushrooms until browned and softened (3-5 minutes), stirring frequently.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons whiskey and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute to reduce the alcohol.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Simmer for 30 seconds, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons freshly minced parsley (or other herbs like thyme or chives).
- Pour the sauce over your freshly grilled steak and serve immediately.
