Looking for the recipe for creamy mushroom source?

Question

I'm going to cook a beef dish for my friend this xmas and i want to learn how to make creamy mushroom source to go with it. If you know how to make it, please help me. Thank you!

Answer 1

These are great bases for a mushroom sauce, but if you want to make it fancier, add some brandy or some red wine to the sauce, and it will require that you use a bit more flour to thicken. They both go very well with beef and will taste great with the creamy mushrooms.

Also. When you are adding the flour to the mixture, dint just throw a big spoonful into it. There are a few ways to get a sauce thick, the easiest one in my opinion is to make a roux in a second sauce pan (melt equal parts butter and flour and cook for a minute or so whisking the whole time on med heat) and whisk it into the mushroom sauce slowly, adding more to make it the thickness that you desire. You can also make a slurry, warm water and flour shaken together in an tightly closing container until there are no lumps, adding slowly again.

All in all, good luck!!!
