To a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
¼ cup unsalted butter
Add in the sliced mushrooms and season with salt.
16 ounces white mushrooms, salt
Simmer, stirring frequently, until wilted and liquid has evaporated, approximately 10-15 minutes. The mushrooms should be brown, but not black.
Add in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, another 5 minutes.
¼ cup all purpose flour
While briskly stirring, add in 1 cup of beef broth. It will slightly thicken and look creamy. Once incorporated, add in the remaining stock and stir until fully combined.
4 cups low sodium beef broth, 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Season with black pepper and thyme.
¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper, ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes.

Add 1 Tbsp sherry or apple cider vinegar to beef broth for extra flavor.
Use any mix of sautéed mushrooms you like.
For thicker gravy: mix 1 Tbsp. cornstarch with 3 Tbsps. broth, then stir in and simmer.
Add a splash of soy sauce for umami depth.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
