“Since this savory sauce uses beef broth, instead of the pan drippings, it can be made ahead. Add arrowroot only when ready to serve. I usually use white mushrooms; I have also used chanterelles.” - by Jimmi

"I went searching for a sauteed mushroom recipe, and this is the one I decided to use. We cooked steaks and chicken on the grill, and it all went perfectly together. The shrooms were absolutely aweso..." See moreme. Will definitely use again and again. Next time I may use a little less broth because there was so much broth left over and not many shrooms."
