How to Make Classic Mushroom Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour gradually until smooth.
- Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of beef broth (or chicken broth for poultry dishes), stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms, 2 finely chopped shallots, and 1/4 cup of dry sherry (or white wine).
- Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Heat through gently, then season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Salt can be added to taste as well, according to preference)
- This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently over low heat before serving.
