Mushroom bourbon cream sauce

Was just surfing some recipes, and had to to post this one. Looks like it would be killer on chops, steaks, chicken, pretty much anything. Even by the spoonful.

Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 pound sliced button or cremini mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc)
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bourbon whisky
Salt and pepper

Sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms in 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat until the mushrooms are browned - about 10-15 minutes. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and boil down until the liquid is reduced to almost a glaze, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bourbon, boil until reduced by two thirds. Add the cream and simmer several minutes until the sauce thickens.

I would add the bourbon before the chicken stock and let it boil a bit (or flame it) to get the alcohol out.  Then add the chicken stock.  Alcohol doesn’t cook off as well if added with other liquids.  Cooks Illustrated did a study of this a few years ago.  Google ‘cooks illustrated’ and ‘azeotrope’.

Thanks for the tip. Just goes to show me, can’t believe everything I see on them cooking websites.  ;D
