2
Gather your ingredients.
3
Your mushrooms may need a rinse before cutting, so first check for any soil. Then, slice away any tough or darkened portions of the mushroom stems. Group the mushrooms into a grid, stem facing upwards. Slice first in half, then into quarters.
4
Peel the garlic cloves and chop or crush finely.
5
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat.
6
Slide the quartered mushrooms into the melted butter. Allow them to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
7
Stir in the crushed garlic.
8
Then, stir in the flour.
9
Add a little crushed black pepper. Spices benefit from a little heat to get them going. Toast the flour and pepper, stirring constantly for a few minutes.
10
Stir in the beef broth. Stir to break up any chunks of flour. Bring the gravy to a simmer.
11
Simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Keep in mind that it will continue to thicken as it cools. When you like the thickness, adjust the seasoning with a little salt and pepper.
