Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Mushroom Gravy.
Step 1
Begin by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Step 2
Once the butter is ready, add the sliced mushrooms and season them with a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Allow the mushrooms to cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and it evaporates, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 5 minutes while stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Gradually pour in 1 cup of beef stock, stirring vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 6
Then, add the remaining beef stock and mix thoroughly to create a rich base.
Step 7
Season your gravy with freshly cracked black pepper and fragrant thyme.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the gravy simmer, stirring often, until it thickens to your desired consistency, which should take around 30 minutes.
Step 9
Enjoy the savory aroma as it fills your kitchen, a sure sign that a delicious meal is on the way.
