Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms, discarding the stems if desired for a smoother texture. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the sliced mushrooms.

Step 3

Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and garlic. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the flour forms a thick paste and starts to lightly brown.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to prevent any lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the soy sauce, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and salt. Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-8 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
