Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 45 grams (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
– 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic (about 1 large or 2 medium cloves)
– 400 grams (14 ounces) sliced mushrooms, 3mm thick (white/button or Swiss/Cremini)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
– 30 grams (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
– 4 tablespoons plain/all-purpose flour
– 2 cups beef stock or broth, low-sodium

Instructions
1-Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add 45 grams (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter and let it melt.
2-Cook half the 400 grams (14 ounces) sliced mushrooms with half the 1/4 teaspoon salt and half the 1/8 teaspoon black pepper for about 4 minutes, adding half the 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic near the end until the mushrooms turn golden; remove them to a plate.
3-Melt the remaining 45 grams unsalted butter and repeat the process with the rest of the mushrooms, salt, pepper, and garlic, then remove to the plate.
4-Lower the heat to medium; in the same skillet, melt 30 grams (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter.
5-Add 4 tablespoons plain/all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1 1/2 minutes to form a roux without burning.
6-Slowly pour in 2 cups beef stock or broth while stirring or whisking to avoid lumps.
7-Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the gravy thickens to a thin-syrup consistency, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
8-Stir in the cooked mushrooms and cook for an additional minute. Adjust salt as needed.
9-Pour the gravy into a gravy jug and serve hot.
