On a recent Saturday night, we had dinner with some dear friends at our Michigan home. Mom’s new recipe for Burgundy Mushroom Sauce was a delicious garnish for the steak that we enjoyed. The mushrooms were tender and richly flavored. I’ve never really appreciated mushrooms, but I loved this dish!
Burgundy Mushroom Sauce
2 lbs fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 large minced garlic cloves
1 cup butter
1/4 cup Worchestershire
1 cup Burgundy (or equivalent red wine)
1 cube beef bouillon
1 cube chicken bouillon
1/4 cup cold water
4 tblsp corn starch
In a skillet or saucepan, saute mushrooms and garlic cloves in butter over low heat until tender, at least 1 hour. Mushrooms should be tender. Transfer mixture to 4-quart saucepan. Add burgundy and Worchestershire. Simmer for 4 hours, covered. Check often, adding wine as needed. Simmer 2 hours, uncovered.
Mix 1/4 cup cold water and 4 tblsp corn starch. Combine thoroughly. Add to mushroom sauce to thicken. Sauce is delicious served warm over beef tenderloin.
Yeah!! I found it. Nice recipe. Burgundy or Burgandy? Hhhmmm… just a spelling bee mom.
*blush*. Thanks for noticing! The error has been corrected.:-)
Welcome back! Glad to see that Bona Vita is up and running again.
Hello, Ladies! Glad to see you’re back to blogging and sharing your delicious recipes
I can attest to all other readers that the steak with burgundy sauce was absolutely DELICIOUS! Not that I think I will be able to duplicate it…but I was hoping you would also share your steak marinade. Oh, and another equally yummy dish of yours…your chicken recipe from our previous gathering….?
We miss you all and think of you often!
Hi April! Glad to see you on here.:-) The teriyaki recipe is here: http://www.bonavitablog.com/2008/07/terrific-teriyaki/. I’m so sorry…I can’t remember what chicken we had the other evening….do you remember what it was? Hope to see you all soon!
It wasn’t teriyaki…I remember Frank saying it was a family favorite…baked with a bread crumb coating?
Hope all is going well.
Oh! It was probably this: http://www.bonavitablog.com/2008/06/fathers-day/. The teriyaki glaze is the other sauce we used for the steak the other night. Have a great day!
