Bourbon Mushrooms

I also used a little bacon grease with the butter when cooking the mushrooms for added flavor. You’ll see my assorted mushrooms I picked up below in red. I thought it was a great switch up to the normal sauces we make for steak. The mushrooms are so light they pick up whatever flavor you cook them in.
