For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider using a mix of mushroom varieties such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. This sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat. Add a splash of beef broth if it becomes too thick. Pair this sauce with grilled filet mignon, ribeye steak, or roasted pork tenderloin.
