Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stir well, and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, thyme, and soy sauce. Let the gravy simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot over your choice of dish, such as steak, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
