Portobello mushroom sauce is the best kept secret to make your Texas Roadhouse steak extra special, but that's just one of many menu hacks you can employ. An important thing to know about Texas Roadhouse is that each entree comes with two sides, so you can save money off the bat by not ordering more sides. Furthermore, you can swap sides with an appetizer. So, if you've been eyeing popular Texas Roadhouse items like cheesy tater skins or rattlesnake bites but don't want to spend extra, simply ask for them as a side instead of the typical veggies or potatoes. That said, a loaded baked potato or steak fries sure would taste delicious smothered in the residual portobello sauce from the steak.

Considering how many copycat recipes there are for the portobello chicken, it's easy to recreate this delicious portobello sauce to adorn your next home cooked steak dinner. In fact, we have a steakhouse mushroom sauce recipe that is very similar to Texas Roadhouse's portobello sauce. Both sauces sauté portobello mushrooms, adding them to a roux-based sauce that's seasoned with aromatic powders, black pepper, and a pour of soy sauce to really amp up the umami of the mushrooms and steak. Our recipe brings even more depth by deglazing the pan with dry sherry and using beef stock instead of water or chicken stock. You could also add some cream of mushroom soup to make the sauce ultra creamy.
