How to Make Creamy Mushroom Sauce Gravy

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth and golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock and 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Add the cooked mushrooms and stir to combine.
  6. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optional: Add 3 minced garlic cloves with the mushrooms in step 1 for extra flavor.
