Mushroom Gravy
A delicious gravy to go with your roast or homemade biscuits!
Ingredients
- ½ small onion
- ½ cup button mushrooms (wiped with a moist paper towel and finely chopped)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp butter
- drippings from skillet (strain skillet drippings to remove any whole spices—it is not necessary to do so with the drippings from the roasting pan)
Instructions
- Turn the heat to medium and place a small pan on the stove.
- Add the butter and some drippings to the pan.
- When the butter and fat are heated, add the chopped onions and sauté for 3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
- Now add the mushrooms and let them cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the flour. Cook constantly, stirring, until fragrant and light brown. About 2 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, continually stirring a little at a time, so no lumps form.
- Add the rest of the drippings. Let the gravy cook and thicken. Approximately 7 minutes.
- Pour into a gravy boat to serve with your favorite roast.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, omit the flour and add 1 tablespoon of corn flour mixed into a paste with a bit of water or broth when you add the beef broth.
You can also omit the drippings, but add another tablespoon of butter.
