How To Make The Perfect Creamy Mushroom Sauce for Roast Beef

Roast beef slices doused in a creamy mushroom sauce is the ultimate party food. In fact, when you want to celebrate, the roast section of the buffet is the most crowded. We totally understand.

It’s easy to make roast beef so why not allot some effort in making a super delicious sauce such as a mushroom sauce to serve with it. You can hack it by using condensed cream of mushroom soup thinned down with a little water or milk, or you can make a creamy mushroom sauce from scratch.

The trick you need to learn is how to use the mushrooms you have. There are a few kinds of mushrooms you can use:

• canned mushrooms
• fresh mushrooms
• dried mushrooms

The canned mushrooms are the most popular since these are shelf-stable and can be used in any number of ways and recipes. These are the most versatile because they do not need to be prepared before using them, apart from draining the liquid (which by the way can be used for your sauce for extra mushroom flavor).

Fresh mushrooms deliver flavor and texture compared to canned mushrooms, but these are best when used shortly after purchase since these can turn slimy if refrigerated and stored for too long. These need to be sauteed before they can be added to a sauce.

Dry mushrooms are intense ingredients that need to be rehydrated first in warm water. The water can be used in the sauce too to deliver even more mushroom flavor. Just remember to leave any dirt left behind in the bowl and discard it before using.

To make a creamy mushroom sauce, here’s what you do:

1 In a frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced, cooking until softened or browned if using fresh mushrooms. Sprinkle and stir in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste.

2 Pour in 1/4 cup all-purpose cream and 1/4 beef bouillon cube dissolved in 3/4 cup water, and heat to a simmer. Once simmering, taste and adjust accordingly with salt and ground black pepper.
