Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0 to taste salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Stir in the dried thyme and cook for another minute to release its aroma.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually add the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the mushroom gravy hot over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
