Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or portobello), sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.

      Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

        Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Mix well and let it simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

          Add fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well and let it cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes.

            Finally, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter for added richness.

              Serve the creamy mushroom sauce over perfectly cooked steak, drizzling generously on top.
