How to Make Mushroom And Bacon Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 4 ounces of bacon, diced, and 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms, sliced. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 8 minutes.
  2. Pour in 1/4 cup dry sherry and let it simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon mushroom paste, 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (or vegetable stock powder for vegetarian option), and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  4. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (or other herbs like thyme or chives). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve immediately over grilled steak or chicken breast. Enjoy!
