Ingredients
- 1 pint of baby Bella mushrooms
- 1 pint of button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 finely minced garlic cloves
- 1 peeled thinly sliced shallot
- ¾ cup of dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
- coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a damp paper towel, remove any unwanted particles from the mushrooms, and then thinly slice them.
- In a large carbon steel, cast iron, or stainless steel skillet, add the oil and heat over high heat until it begins to smoke lightly.
- Add the mushrooms, gently season with salt, and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are well browned.
- Scoot the mushrooms to 1 side of the pan, and in the other, the shallots, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Cook the shallots and garlic on that side of the pan for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Mix all the ingredients in the pan together, deglaze with the white wine, and cook until there is only 1 or 2 tablespoons remaining.
- Turn the heat down to medium and mix in the flour to make a roux.
- Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling turn the heat down to low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Finish with parsley, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, and pepper, and mix. Serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this mushroom gravy up to 3 days in advance. Let it cool completely after cooking, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve.
- How to Store: Keep the gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen gravy in the fridge overnight before reheating. Remember that the sauce will thicken and possibly break as it cools.
- How to Reheat: Reheat your desired mushroom gravy in a saucepan and heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up.
- Use a carbon steel, cast iron, or stainless steel skillet to make the gravy.
- If you’re making this specifically for Thanksgiving, add 2 to 3 fresh sage leaves, rosemary sprigs, and/or thyme sprigs when you pour in the stock. Remove and discard the herbs at the end.
- Never soak the mushrooms in water. They’re like sponges and absorb any extra liquid, making them waterlogged and soggy. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel.
- Deglazing adds liquid (like wine) to a hot pan to loosen the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom. This adds depth to your gravy, so don’t skip this step.
- The roux is a mixture of flour and fat cooked to thicken the sauce. You can also thicken the gravy with a slurry or beurre manié.
- Add a little extra flour or simmer it for a thicker gravy.
