*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
First, melt butter in large pan over medium-high heat. Add your mushrooms and cook and stir for about 10 minutes. Be careful not crowd the pan so the mushrooms can get nice and brown. Then set them aside while you make a roux in the same pan.
How to make a roux
Our roux is a mixture of butter and flour cooked up to make a paste, which serves as the base to thicken our sauce. We cook the flour for about three – five minutes. The roux will develop a rich nutty aroma as it cooks. This is to avoid a raw flour taste.
Next add your broth, wine, salt and pepper to pan. Whisk and stir until flour is dissolved. Continue stirring, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the reserved mushrooms. Pour into a gravy boat, and you’re ready to serve.
Pro tips and recipe notes
- Always use room temperature or cool wine and broth when adding to the hot roux. Gradually add and continuously whisk to separate the starches and thicken the gravy. Bringing the mixture to a low boil, enables the starches to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Keep your gravy warm. Gravy thickens as it cools which creates a pudding like texture so you will want to keep it warm in a thermos or water bath until you’re ready to serve.
- How long will your gravy keep. Remember gravy is perishable. You can keep it in the fridge for 2 days.

Does this reheat well?
Barbara Bianchi says
Hi Anne, Yes, this gravy can be reheated without a problem. If it separates a little in the refrigerator, just stir it over a low heat in a small saucepan until it simmers or in the microwave. If you find it has thickened, add a splash of broth to thin it out. ❤️
