Mushroom and Wine Steak Sauce

Mushroom and Wine Steak Sauce is a superb simple sauce that all home cooks should know. This covers a perfect steak with body and flavour without detracting from the steak. Steak and mushrooms have always been the best companions but include broth and vegetables and you have perfection. However this sauce, served with a steak on a bed of rice is a main dish that will have people queuing at the door to try. However, this is a sauce that can be used with other meats. I have used this mushroom sauce with lamb and chicken.  I have even used it as the sauce in a chicken pot pie.
