Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- salt (optional, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Stir in the chopped onion and cook for another 5 minutes until the onion is softened and slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat everything in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable or beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Let the mixture come to a simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce, thyme leaves, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
Simmer the gravy for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
Serve the mushroom gravy warm over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or your dish of choice. Enjoy!
