This mushroom sauce recipe is a perfect accompaniment for so many things.
It is a great sauce for steak, roast beef, chopped steak, meatloaf, pork chops or chicken. I love it over meatloaf and make it often.
This sauce would even work well over other vegetables for a vegetarian meal option. Try it on quinoa with vegetables or brown rice. It;s really fantastic.
The recipe calls for 1 cup of milk or a mix of milk and cream. The mix of milk and cream is really good because the cream adds more richness to the sauce recipe.
Use what you have but I would highly recommend that you use full fat milk. If you use 1% milk or skim milk you will lose some of that velvety texture that this sauce has.
Mushrooms in cream sauce is an easy dinner recipe that you can prepare while your main course is cooking.
It makes any plain meat “entertainment worthy” while still being an easy dinner recipe.
Works for me!
Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 ounces fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- dash white pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk, or mix of milk and cream
- salt
- 1 tablespoon sherry
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms thoroughly and cut a thin slice from the stem end. Slice or halve lengthwise. Place mushrooms in a saucepan, add butter and seasonings and cook uncovered over low heat for about 10 minutes, until any liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are golden.
- Mix flour and milk together well in a bowl Add the mixture gradually, stirring constantly. Simmer 10 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Season, then add sherry.

Variation:
- The sherry adds a nice flavor touch, but if you prefer not to use it, simply leave it out, or replace it with your favorite red wine.
- You can use canned mushrooms for this recipe too, although I think the fresh work much better. It is just a taste preference. Use whichever you prefer.
- The combination of milk and cream provides a nice richness to the recipe. You can use all milk, but the lower the fat the “thinner” the taste. Whole milk is best for a sauce.
