This Easy Mushroom Sauce has been in my family for generations. It’s so simple, yet very flavorful. It tastes great on steak, fish, veggie, and of course, mashed potatoes!
This Mushroom Sauce recipe never gets old, and I never met a person who wouldn’t enjoy it. My favorite way to eat it – is with a big spoon straight out of the pan. Yes, that’s my spoon you see in the photo. 🙂
Jokes aside, this Easy Mushroom Sauce pairs with almost anything. I recently made some baked yams and served them with this mushroom sauce. It was a hit! I also love it over green beans, grilled chicken, rice and buckwheat… The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to use your imagination.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Saute the mushrooms in oil on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
2. Add shredded carrot and diced onion.
3. Saute the mushrooms with carrot and onion for another 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile prepare the sauce. In a separate skillet, slightly brown the flour on medium heat.
5. Add the vegetable broth (one cup at a time) and stir vigorously until no lumps remain.
6. Add the sauce to the mushrooms.
7. Add the sour cream and stir.
8. Cook the sauce for another minute and turn off the heat. Try if the dish needs a little salt and pepper.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill and ENJOY!

We are empty nesters so cooking for two can be a challange. first time I made this recipe it was too much for 2 servings. I frooze the rest for later meals. It worked out so good, now I make a doubel batch, freeze in portions for two. So handy to have to spruce up a meal. It’s now one of my make ahead recipes.
Thank you so much for reporting back, Nancy! I am glad you enjoyed the sauce!
Hello! Do you think I could use almond flour for gluten free options?
Hi Jackie! No, almond flour won’t thicken the sauce. Use cornstarch instead. So just add vegetable stock in Step 3 and make cornstarch slurry (mix 1 tbsp. of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water). Add the slurry to the skillet and proceed with the recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
I liked it a lot. Loved that it was hearty, cheap, easy, and ready in about 20 minutes. I used cilantro because it was the only thing I had but I think parsley would be a better pairing. I stopped cooking my mushrooms st 6 minutes as they were beginning to burn.
I didn’t brown my flour, used the oil from cooking fish to start the roux because I was out of pans.
Will make again!
Thank you for reporting back, Jennifer! I am glad you liked this sauce!
Sounds scrumptious…….will definitely give this sauce and the potato pancakes a whirl v.soon. regards Del frm sunny Cape Town.
Thank you! Let me know when you try the recipes. Best wishes!
Are you browning the flour in a dry pan? I have never seen a gravy recipe that doesn’t call for a roux using a fat and the flour. Do you need to use a nonstick pan?
Hi Steve! Yes, just brown the flour in a dry pan. You don’t have to use nonstick, any pan would work. I cannot wait to hear your feedback!
