    This Mushroom Brandy Cream Sauce is so versatile it will go well with beef, pork, poultry and even shrimp!This simple sauce will take your meal to the next level.

    I served it originally with Schnitzel.  In European restaurants you see all kinds of schnitzel variations with mushroom sauce, fried eggs etc.  I usually pass, preferring a plain schnitzel with a wedge of lemon.

    That might change from now on.....

    Try it for yourself !

    Chef's Note

    Do not substitute lower fat cream for the whipping cream or the sauce will separate when you are reducing it.

      I made this for a special steak birthday dinner. After the steaks were done I deglazed the cast iron pan with a splash more brandy, then added the already prepared sauce, plus juices from the steaks after they were done resting. Wow it was amazing! Oh, I used shallots instead of red onion because that’s what my friend told me to use.
