6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 8 oz crimini mushrooms sliced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 –3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 11 oz bottle Guinness stout
- 8 oz whole milk
- 1/8 tsp celery salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the vegetables:
- Place the mushrooms and onions in a dry cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
Prepare the roux:
- Add the Dijon mustard, butter, and flour to the pan. Stir thoroughly and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the flour to cook and the mixture to become fragrant.
Incorporate the Guinness:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add half of the Guinness stout to the pan and whisk until fully incorporated. Add the remaining stout and whisk again until smooth.
Add milk and simmer:
- Pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5–10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Season and finish:
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the celery salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired, before serving.
