Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

A savory sauce built on browned mushrooms and a tangy red wine base. Uses salted butter for flavor punch and replaces beef broth with chicken stock for a lighter finish. Cornstarch thickens but arrowroot powder works if needed. Fresh rosemary swaps thyme, adding earthiness. Timing varies with mushroom moisture, cooking till they shrink visibly and liquid reduces to a glossy coating. Garlic powder swapped for fresh minced garlic to deepen aroma. Cook low and slow after wine addition to prevent bitterness. Salt and pepper finish. Great for steak, pork, or roasted veggies. Watch texture closely to avoid gluey sauce.
