Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups chicken or beef broth
• 0.5 cups dry white wine or additional broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil, allowing them to melt and combine.

Step 2

Add the finely diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the raw taste of the flour to cook out.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the white wine (or additional broth) to the mixture and stir well.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, chopped rosemary, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.

Step 8

Let the gravy simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of broth to thin it out.

Step 9

Taste the gravy and season it with salt and black pepper as needed. If using, stir in the heavy cream for extra richness.

Step 10

Remove the gravy from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm over slices of pork roast.
