March 7, 2007

This recipe was sent in by one of our members, using 
Butterfly Creek Wine. 
 
What you will like about this recipe is that it actually 
has wine in it.  
 
Red Wine Wild Mushroom Sauce  
 
1 tablespoon unsalted butter  
Extra-virgin olive oil  
2 shallots, minced  
2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as crimini, oyster, 
shiitake, chanterelle, or white, trimmed and sliced  
Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs  
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper  
1/2 cup Butterfly Creek Cabernet Sauvignon  
1/4 cup beef broth  
1/4 cup heavy cream  
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives  
 
Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and a 
2-count drizzle of oil. When the butter starts to foam, add 
the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes to soften. Add the 
mushrooms and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Stir 
everything together for a few minutes. Add the red wine, 
stirring to scrape up any stuck bits; then cook and stir to 
evaporate the alcohol. When the wine is almost all gone, 
add the beef broth. Let the liquid cook down and then take 
it off the heat. Stir in the cream and chives, and season 
with salt and pepper. (Note: when cooking a roast its 
really good to add some of the drippings in place of equal 
amount of beef broth) 
 
Serving suggestions:  
Can be served on almost any Beef dish. I prefer to put it 
on tender grilled steak or a slice of beef roast, and eaten 
along with a glass of Butterfly Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 
makes the dish perfect. Mmmmm!
