Ingredients
For the Mushrooms:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely minced, fresh
- 14 ounces mushrooms sliced 3mm / ⅛" thick (white/button or Swiss/Cremini)
- 1 ½ tablespoons thyme optional, fresh leaves
- ½ tablespoon rosemary optional, chopped, fresh
- sea salt freshly ground, to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 1 tablespoon white wine optional to deglaze the pan, dry, or red wine
For the Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups beef stock low-sodium (the better quality beef stock and the darker the color will determine the deep rich color of the gravy). You can also use chicken stock or vegetable stock, or broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat cook. Add the onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme (if using), rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture. If using wine, add it during the last minute of cooking to deglaze the pan.
- Make the Gravy: Melt the butter over medium heat in a separate saucepan. Add the flour, whisking constantly, and cook for about 2-3 minutes to form a roux. The roux should be lightly golden in color. Gradually whisk in the beef stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk as the mixture comes to a simmer. Allow the gravy to simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency—season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked mushrooms to the gravy and stir well to combine. Serve the mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or your favorite dish. Enjoy!
Notes
- How to adjust gravy thickness:
- If the gravy is too thin, continue to simmer it on low heat, allowing it to reduce and thicken. You can also whisk in a small amount of a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to thicken it quickly.
- If your gravy becomes too thick, add more stock or water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Stir well to incorporate the liquid.
