Mushroom Cream Sauce
Mushroom Cream Sauce is a rich and delicious sauce to serve over steak, chicken, pork or vegetables. Made with sautéed mushrooms and onions with whiskey and cream and is sure to elevate any meal.
Grilled steaks are one of our favorite dinners, on occasion we make Garlic Butter Steaks but in general we don’t even serve them with steak sauce. If you are looking to serve something a little more elegant for a special occasion, try adding this delicious Mushroom Cream Sauce over the steaks.
Ingredients for Mushroom Cream Sauce:
- Butter is the base of the sauce and also for cooking the mushrooms and onions.
- All Purpose Flour thickens the sauce.
- Mushrooms – baby bella or white button mushrooms work well in this recipe.
- Onion – yellow or sweet onion adds texture and flavor to the sauce and pairs well with any meat.
- Granulated Garlic adds flavor to the sauce that compliments the onions and mushrooms.
- Brown Sugar balances the flavor, you won’t notice the sweetness.
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
- Whiskey is optional. It adds a depth of flavor that pairs really well with a grilled steak. We used TX Whiskey, use your favorite.
- Beef Broth adds flavor and creates a great texture and consistency in the sauce.
- Heavy Cream pairs well with the mushroom flavors and makes the sauce extra creamy.
- Fresh parsley, optional garnish.
For Grilled Ribeyes:
- Ribeye Steaks
- Olive Oil

How could I make this more calorie friendly. We can’t use heavy cream. Thank you
Hi Judy,
You can use greek yogurt instead. You might need to add a bit of milk if it is too thick.
