Ingredients :
- 2 (32 oz) boxes Beef Stock [with sodium - you'll use about 1 1/2 boxes]
- 1 Medium Purple Onion [rough chop]
- 2 LG White Onions [rough chop]
- 5 Cups Mushrooms [your choice - stems removed]
- 1 box (2 oz) Lipton Onion Soup Mix [reserve 1 packet to be added later]
- 3 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Red Wine [white works as well]
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 Cube Salted Butter
- 3 tablespoons Corn Starch [1 1/2 tbsp water - added last]]
- 1 tsp Granulated Onion [added last]
- 2 tsp Granulated Garlic [added last]
- 3 tsp Kitchen Bouquet [added last]
- 1 tbsp Worshestershire Sauce [added last]
Method :
- Chop your onions and garlic and add it to your large pot. Add everything to it except for your broth, 1 Packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix or anything that says, "added last."
- Simmer mixture for about 10 minutes covered. Or, until onions are translucent. Stir regularly.
- Add small splashes of beef stock if you feel your onions and garlic are on the verge of burning.
- Gently wipe your mushrooms with a damp towel.
- Chop your mushrooms and add to your pot.
- Add beef stock until your mushrooms are fully submerged.
- Once simmering - add your 2nd packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Mix well.
- Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes depending upon how firm you prefer your mushrooms - covered. Stir regularly.
- Add additional beef stock as needed.
- Here"s what your gravy will look like after 30 minutes.
- Since spices and herbs can lose flavor during long simmer times - add your granulated garlic, granulated onion, Worcestershire and Kitchen Bouquet at this point. Stir well.
- Your gravy will change color and become darker.
- Now, mix your corn starch and water in a small bowl well until it"s a smooth liquid.
- Bring your gravy up to a steady boil and add 1/2 of your corn starch slurry mixture.
- Mix well, constantly and fast.
- Allow gravy to simmer for a minute. You"ll see your gravy begin to thicken.
- Decide how thick you"d like your gravy. Thicker? Add the other half of your slurry.
- If you find it"s too thick - no worries - just add a bit more beef stock and mix well.
- Pour this delicious gravy over everything from mashed potatoes, bangers [= sausages] to the side of french fries or, over a poutine with cheese curds, noodles, rice, open faced meat sandwiches, steaks or hamburger steaks.
- Enjoy!
