This mushroom red wine sauce is elegant enough to serve over filet mignon for a holiday feast. But it can also be made ahead and stashed in the fridge, ready to reheat the next day for a weeknight chicken dinner.

The type of wine you use is up to you, but dry, fruity red wines tend to pair well with mushrooms. You can't go wrong with a Pinot Noir, a Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Merlot.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 pound mushrooms (such as button), thinly sliced

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¾ cup red wine

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the mushroom slices and cook until they release their juices and soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.

  3. Continue to cook until the juices evaporate.

  4. Add the wine and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.

  5. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour or spoon the sauce over the cooked meat.
