"This is one of my go to sauces. It is easy, rich, delicious, and decadent. This can be served with chicken, pork, veal, lamb, or beef. I tend to use sherry wine as my 'all around or go to' wine; but, this sauce can really be customized - depending on what you are serving it with. Maybe port wine and beef stock (for beef dishes); or, port and chicken broth (for lamb or veal). And, maybe marsala or white wine and chicken broth (for ... obviously chicken or veal). So, you can see - you can really change up your wines, and broths to match what type of proteins you are using. Everything else in the recipe remains the same. It is great to entertain with; and, I guarantee ... your guests will be impressed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mushrooms ... Add the olive oil and butter to a saute pan and bring to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and shallots and saute for 5 minutes. Add the flour, and stir to incorporate. Then, slowly whisk in the sherry wine and beef broth. Season with a pinch of both salt and pepper. You can re-season again before serving. Simmer another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Step 2
Finish .. Add the mascarpone, rosemary, thyme and mix to combine. Cook an additional minute just until everything is combined and heated through. Season again with salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... A perfect, rich, and decadent gravy. And, as I said; you can easily switch up the type of wine and broth depending on what you are serving this with. So, just because you don't have sherry wine, don't think you can't make this recipe.
