Bourbon Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1-1/2 cups cremini mushrooms or other mushroom of your choice, sliced
  • 2-ounces Bourbon
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped, or 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp. additional butter, cold

Instructions
 

  • When the steaks hit the grill, start the sauce by sautéing the mushrooms, over medium heat, in the butter, until they shrink and just beginning to turn a little brown at the edges.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the shallots and garlic; sauté for another minute or so until they soften.
  • Add the bourbon and let that cook off for only a minute.
  • Add the beef stock and nutmeg; allow the sauté, to reduce by almost half. for the next few minutes.
  • Add the whipping cream and thyme; cook for only a minute or two more until the sauce is the right consistency; it should not be too thick but should coat the back of a metal spoon; If you reduce the sauce too much, just thin it with a little extra splash of beef stock.
  • Just before serving, remove the sauce from the heat and stir in an additional butter; this gives the sauce good body when serving.
