ROSEMARY MUSHROOM GRAVY
Ingredients
¼ cup butter
1 serving (desired amount) Jamie's Blue Oyster Mushrooms
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 quart beef stock or bouillon
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Heat butter over medium heat in a saucepan until it foams. Stir in mushrooms. Season with salt. Simmer until liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes. Add about 1 cup of beef stock, stirring briskly until incorporated, then pour in the remaining stock and mix thoroughly. Season with black pepper and rosemary. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 30 minutes, stirring often.
Helpful Hints
Low and slow is the name of the game. The longer the gravy has to mature, the better it gets. More mushroom flavor is brought out and everything comes together.
If you are making this with dehydrated mushrooms, the water/mushroom stock used for rehydration is a great starting point for the gravy.
Fantastic over steaks, however not limited to.
Enjoy.
