Clean the mushrooms with a brush or kitchen paper. Cut the mushrooms into thin slices.
Peel the shallots and finely chop.
Heat a dash of olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté half of the mushrooms until they are nicely browned. Then add the other half of the mushrooms and cook until all the mushrooms are evenly browned.
If you fry all the mushrooms at the same time, they will not brown well, which will make them less tasty. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and fry the bacon, along with the finely chopped shallots. After a few minutes, add a tablespoon of flour and cook briefly. You have now made a roux.
Slowly add the red wine and stir with a whisk. Add the beef stock along with the ketchup, bay leaves and oregano and bring to the boil.
Add the cooked mushrooms to the sauce and let it thicken gently over low heat.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper, remove the bay leaves and serve immediately with, for example, a beef roulade, a cut of pork, or a schnitzel. Enjoy your meal≠
