Wink Need a Dark Mushroom Sauce recipe

A local steak house served a rich dark mushroom sauce for steaks and baked potatoes. It was delicious!!All the mushroom sauce recipes I've seen are light in color. Any idea how to make this?

Jesse, It's all about the stock.
This is a basic way to prepare the sauce.
Buy some dried porcini mushrooms and reconstitute in Sherry and a little warm water. Strain the mushrooms through cheesecloth and reserve the liquid. Rinse the shrooms again and set both aside. Now in a heavy based sauce pan saute a couple rough cut shallots,some garlic cloves,parsly stems,a couple day leaves and sprigs of fresh thyme and a few peppercorns. Do this on medium high heat,When you start to get some nice caralization going add 1 small chopped tomato and stir season with some kosher salt and reduce to a sec. Then deglaze the pan with 2 cups red wine and reduce by half,then add the liqiud you saved from the shrooms and reduce that by half, at this stage you should have a fairly nice color working. Jesse if you have veal stock this is when you add it 4 or 5 cups,bring to a boil, season with s & p and simmer down by 1/3. If you do not have stock add some beef boullion,But do not add any salt until you taste the broth,they tend to be salty. Make a little roux (be sure to cook it out) and add this alittle at a time until you get the consistency you want. (coats the back of a spoon)Then strain this through a fine china cap or a colander lined with cheese cloth into another pot. Fine dice a shallot and mince a little fresh thyme, saute together in a saute pan add the shrooms S&P cook till hot add 1/2 cup red wine reduce to sec and add to your sauce, Adjust the seasoning and poof you should be on you way.
Happy cooking!!

Thank you! I was hoping for this. This is better than Mushrooms, gravy and Beef base. Thanks.
