How to Make a Mushroom Cream Sauce
Gather all your ingredients to make your mushroom cream sauce with beef.
Cut your Lion’s Mane Mushrooms into the desired size. If you want bigger mushroom pieces, then cut the mushrooms into slices.
Want the mushrooms to just flavor the sauce? Cut the Lion’s Mane Mushrooms into a small dice.
In a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook your mushrooms in a dry pan. The moisture in the mushrooms will be all the liquid that you will need.
Cook the mushrooms until tender. Remove from the pan into a side dish and reserve until later.
In the same pan, sauté the diced onions for a couple of minutes. Add the slice beef/venison to the sauteed onions and season with your favorite salt and pepper seasonings. Cook for several minutes.
Next, add the beef broth, tomato paste and the sauteed mushrooms back into the pan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, with the cover on, and cook until the meat is tender. While the mushroom sauce is cooking, combine the heavy whipping cream and the cornstarch.
Once the meat has reached your desired tenderness, uncover, and bring the sauce to a low boil. Slowly, add the cream/cornstarch mixture to the sauce while stirring constantly.
Continue to simmer until the desired thickness is achieved. Remove from the heat.
When the mushroom cream sauce with beef starts to cool, it will thicken even more.
Serve overtop of your favorite noodles, baked potatoes, rice, slices of bread, mashed cauliflower, sauteed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Cool and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 6 days.

I love lion’s mane mushrooms and this is a great recipe for them!
Was very good but way too much beef stock unless you want to wait about 3 hours for it all to thicken on the stove. Cut the beef stock down by 1/2 # and it was a bit better the next time for thickness.
Thank you for your comment. I have been making this exact recipe for years for my family and I have no problem with the thickness of this Lions Mane Mushroom Cream Sauce. That’s what the cornstarch in the heavy cream is for.
How much is 2 lbs of beef broth? Seems like a lot.
When you buy beef broth, it comes in a box that is 2 pounds or 32 ounces or 4 cups. This sauce is simmered and reduced down to a rich flavor.
