Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
1 medium shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
0.75 cup Marsala wine
1 cup beef broth, or more as needed
2 tablespoons port wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced shallot, crushed garlic and dried rosemary, cooking and stirring occasionally until the mushrooms become tender, which should take 4 to 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and cook while stirring constantly for 1 minute. Pour in the marsala wine to deglaze the pan, then cook for about 2 minutes.
Turn the heat up to medium, stir in the beef broth and port wine, and cook until the sauce begins to reduce and thicken to your desired consistency, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, taste, and adjust any ingredients to your preference.
