Creamy Keto Mushroom Sauce

Searching for a yummy Keto Mushroom Sauce? Look no further! In 20 minutes you will have a deliciously creamy sauce to top that steak, chicken or smother your roasted veggies with!

I am SUCH a huge mushroom sauce fan, however, I can’t stand mushrooms all by themselves! I know, weird right? For me, it all comes down to textures. Mushrooms have an excellent flavour, especially when simmered with onions and garlicky goodness. But all by themselves? Yeah, not such a big fan.

This recipe was created to enjoy the beautiful flavour that mushrooms have to offer, without all of that rubbery texture. To accomplish this task, we cook down our mushrooms until they are golden, simmer with beef broth, and then puree the sauce smooth with an immersion blender.

If a chunky mushroom sauce is your jam, go ahead and skip the puree step. Either way, I hope you love this Keto Mushroom Sauce as much as my family and I do!

Notes

Expert Tips

  1. Ensure the mushrooms are throughly cleaned! They can pack around a lot of dirt – which we do not want in our mushroom sauce!
  2. Make sure the mushrooms are cooked until they have browned and turned soft – this is for texture and flavour purposes.
  3. Prefer a chunky sauce? Don’t puree your sauce at all!
  4. Want a creamy sauce but don’t have an immersion blender? Cool the sauce, puree using a blender, then return your sauce to the saucepan / skillet and heat to 165° before serving.
  5. Alternately you can use a skillet instead of a saucepan, however, if you would like to puree this sauce with an immersion blender, rather than puree it using a blender, or leaving it chunky, it is easier done so in a saucepan.
