Ingredients

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces assorted wild mushrooms (such as baby portobello, shiitake and oyster), minced
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 can (14 to 14-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve reduced sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Step 1

Bring vinegar to a boil in small saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 8 to 9 minutes or until reduced to about 2 tablespoons (consistency will be syrupy). Remove from heat; cool.
Step 2

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 5 to 8 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add wine; cook 2 to 5 minutes or just until liquid has completely evaporated.

Cooking Tip: When reducing small amounts of liquid, such as the vinegar in step 1 and the wine in step 2, pay close attention to prevent the liquid from burning.
Step 3

Meanwhile, dissolve cornstarch in broth. Add broth mixture and balsamic reduction to skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is reduced by one half. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Serve immediately.
