Mushrooms are sauteed with onions and garlic. Red wine and beef broth are added and the sauce is reduced down until there is almost no liquid left. Makes a great side dish to beef recipes...also goes great on top of steaks. Use a good quality red wine that you would actually drink.

I decreased the servings and cut back on the wine and broth. To me it tasted like soggy mushrooms that had the color of beets. We could taste the wine but that was about it. Read More

The best mushrooms I have ever eaten. Made blue cheese crusted filet mignon and needed 1/2 cup port red used the rest on these. Turned out wonderful. Easier than I thought. Would suggest doubling the mushroom amount. There are not any left now:-( Read More

I made these tonight but only cooked them for 30 minutes with about 1/4 cup of wine and 1/4 cup of broth. They were still awesome but I don't really see the need for 2 hours and as much ingredient called for for a side dish. Loved the flavors though. Read More

I used this as the side/sauce for beef wrapped in puff pastry - and it truly was delish. I did not use button mushrooms but instead used Crimini. The only things keeping it from a five-star review: Very similar results can be had with far less wine and time. It's a rare day that I am willing to drop an entire bottle of a decent red into a side/sauce to serve four. That said - the flavor and texture are spectacular. So for special events - when you have a lot of time don't mind the expense and want to truly impress - it's worth it. Read More

Excellent. I doubled the recipe for 8 people and used 2 cups of wine and 2 cups of beef broth. Served as a side with prime rib. These were delicious the following day as a toppeing for leftover prime ribe sandwiches. Well worth the time & wine involved. Read More
