Difficulty: easy Prep Time: Five Minutes Total Time: 30 Minutes or Less

8 oz sliced mushrooms, button or baby bellas (crimini)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp flour
3 tbsp cold water
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried parsley flakes

Great compliment to prime rib or steak.

Sauté mushrooms in butter and oil for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; add red wine and simmer for a few minutes. Add beef broth and simmer to reduce a bit, about 5 minutes. Combine flour and cold water and whisk until smooth. Stir into the mushrooms until well blended. Season to taste and simmer for about 1 minute, until thickened. If too thick, add a little more broth. Add parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
Makes about 1 1/2 - 2 cups.
