Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and cook until browned, about 4 minutes more.

  2. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens, about 2 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute so it coats everything and loses its raw taste.

  4. Slowly stir in the broth, then add the soy sauce, thyme and pepper. Simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.

Tips

  • Don't crowd the mushrooms or stir them too soon. Letting them sit is what browns them, and browning is where the flavor comes from.
  • For a smooth gravy, blend half of it and stir it back in.
  • Make it vegan with olive oil or vegan butter, and check that your soy sauce is gluten-free if needed.
