Ingredients

• 2 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 4 slices Bread

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the portobello mushrooms into thin strips, resembling the texture of dried beef strips.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the cooked mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the flour to the melted butter, stirring continuously to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the milk and vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring well to combine.

Step 8

Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Return the mushrooms to the skillet, mixing them into the creamy sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 10

Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness.

Step 11

Serve the creamed 'beef' over the toasted bread slices, garnished with fresh parsley.
