BEST MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt the butter (or bacon grease, lard or beef drippings - any of these will yield the most flavor) in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the onions until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
• Add the mushrooms and cook 7-8 minutes or until golden and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Add the ground porcini mushrooms and cook for another minute.
• Add the butter and melt. Add the flour, stir to combine and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continually. This will cook off the flour flavor and brown the flour to create more depth of flavor in the gravy.
• Add the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk continually until the gravy is thickened. Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer the gravy thinner add a little more water (or heavy cream if using).Note: To make this gluten free simply omit the step of adding the flour and then, at the very end after you've added the broth and seasonings, stir in a cornstarch slurry made with one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and simmer for a minute until thickened.

MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
• Place the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and the flour in the skillet and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a deep brown color. Still stirring, gradually pour in the milk. Cook until the mixture thickens and the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mushroom mixture and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
