Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms Ingredients

- Mushrooms – Fresh, earthy, sliced mushrooms for cooking.
- Butter – Rich, creamy butter adds flavor and richness.
- Margarine – Buttery margarine enhances the dish’s smooth texture.
- Onion – Sweet, finely chopped onions for savory depth.

How to Make Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms

Step One: Clean and slice the mushrooms. Set them aside.
Step Two: In a small pan, melt the butter and margarine over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir occasionally until the onions soften, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the beef base and red Burgundy wine. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it reduces and thickens.

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C). In a bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms in the prepared sauce mixture, ensuring they’re well coated.
Step Four: Place the coated mushrooms into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry with a cook time for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized. Once the mushrooms are cooked, serve them as a side dish or on top of steaks for a delicious meal.

Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Mushrooms: For the best texture and flavor, opt for fresh mushrooms rather than canned or pre-sliced varieties. Cremini or button mushrooms work perfectly for this dish.
- Adjust the Beef Base: If you prefer a stronger beef flavor, you can increase the amount of beef base to suit your taste, or substitute it with beef broth.
- Wine Substitutes: If you don’t have red Burgundy wine, you can substitute it with another dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot for similar flavor.
- Serve with Steak or Grilled Meats: These sauteed mushrooms make the perfect topping for steaks, grilled chicken, or pork chops, adding an extra layer of richness to the meal.
Storing
- Storing: Store leftover Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to cool them completely before refrigerating to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can freeze the sauteed mushrooms in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Make sure to let the mushrooms cool fully before freezing to avoid moisture buildup.
- Reheating: Reheat the mushrooms in a skillet over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe Faqs
Can I use a different type of wine? Yes, you can substitute red Burgundy wine with any dry red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. These will still provide a rich, flavorful base for the mushrooms.
Can I make this recipe without alcohol? If you prefer to avoid alcohol, you can substitute the red wine with beef broth or a mixture of grape juice and a splash of vinegar to mimic the depth of flavor.
Can I use a different type of mushroom? Absolutely! While button mushrooms are commonly used, you can also use cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms for a different texture and flavor.
Can I freeze Steak and Ale Sauteed Mushrooms? While freezing is not ideal due to the wine sauce, you can freeze them for up to 1-2 months. Just be aware the texture may change after freezing and reheating.
