Sauté the aromatics

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Cook the mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5–6 minutes.

Deglaze and combine

Pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Finish the sauce

Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish and serve

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately over your favorite cooked steak.
