Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter or bacon grease
16 oz fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced *Note 1
½ cup finely diced yellow onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Add the oil to a large skillet and pre-heat over medium-high heat. Once pre-heated add the butter. Once melted stir in the mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes until the residual water from the mushrooms evaporates.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper and push to one side of the skillet. On the other side of the pan, add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant (approximately. 30-60 seconds).
Mix together the mushrooms and onions and push to one side of the skillet. Add the butter to the other side of the pan and let melt. Whisk in the flour and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly.
Slowly pour in the broth, Worcestershire, thyme, salt, and pepper while whisking, to ensure there are no lumps. Turn the heat up to medium-high until it starts to simmer.
Once simmering, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the gravy is thickened. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Taste and add extra salt and pepper if needed. Remove from the heat and it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

Note 1 - Good mushroom options: white button mushrooms, portobello, chanterelles, cremini (baby bella), oyster or a wild mushroom mix.
