1 2 lb. T-Bone steak, about 2 inches thick

2 T. olive oil

4 oz. button mushrooms

1/2 t. salt

1/2 C. heavy cream

1 T. sherry

Drain the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Set the liquid aside. Squeeze mushrooms gently to remove excess water.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sage and and all of the mushrooms. Cook about 2 minutes and then add the reserved liquid. Cover and cook for 4 minutes.

Add the cream, salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce until it begins to thicken. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Serve the sauce on the side.
