How to Make Rich Mushroom Gravy

Delicious homemade gravy with butter, herbs, and soy sauce on a marble countertop.

Is a Steak Really a Steak if It Isn’t Smothered in Rich Mushroom Gravy?

I think not.  Mushroom Gravy is just the bomb-diggity on steak, it’s good on chicken, probably not so much on fish (ewwww).  This is how to make mushroom gravy from scratch – it makes about two cups which is plenty for a family of four – make more if you love gravy!
