Mushroom gravy is a savory and versatile sauce that can elevate a variety of dishes, from mashed potatoes to meatloaf. This simple yet flavorful recipe combines the rich taste of mushrooms with a beef broth base, creating a smooth and hearty gravy that pairs perfectly with your favorite comfort foods.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice or chop the mushrooms according to your preference.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced or chopped mushrooms and cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and lightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of all-purpose white wheat flour over the mushrooms and garlic. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes to combine and cook the flour. This will help to thicken the gravy.
4. Add the Beef Broth:
- Gradually pour in 1.5 cups of beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the gravy has thickened, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Taste the gravy and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove from heat and serve your mushroom gravy hot over mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or any dish of your choice.
Tips:
- Choosing Mushrooms: Opt for fresh mushrooms with a firm texture and earthy aroma for the best flavor. You can use white button mushrooms, cremini, or even a mix of your favorites.
- Prepping Ingredients: Make sure to finely chop the garlic cloves and mushrooms to ensure a smooth and cohesive gravy.
- Cooking the Roux: When adding the flour to the oil, continuously whisk to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the roux until it turns a light golden color to create a rich base for your gravy.
- Blending In Broth: Gradually add the beef broth to the flour mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency. This prevents clumping and ensures an even texture.
- Seasoning: Taste your gravy before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for extra depth.
With just a few basic ingredients and easy steps, you can create a delicious mushroom gravy that will enhance any meal. Whether you're preparing a family dinner or a special occasion feast, this gravy is sure to impress and become a staple in your cooking repertoire.
