Shiitake Mushroom Sauce

Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Soy Sauce and Cream

    Stir in the soy sauce and heavy cream, and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

    Serve the Meatloaf

    Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve topped with shiitake mushroom sauce.
