Follow The Directions
01
Step
3 mins
Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until it achieves a deep golden-brown hue, approximately 2-3 minutes.
02
Step
5 mins
Introduce the sliced baby bella mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring periodically, until the mushrooms develop a beautiful browned color, around 3-5 minutes.
03
Step
2 mins
Pour the sherry into the pan, bringing it to a boil while diligently scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the skillet's bottom using a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until the sherry has reduced, about 2 minutes.

Step
1 mins
Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside temporarily.
05
Step
2 mins
Reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Add the all-purpose flour, creating a roux by stirring continuously until the mixture turns a light golden-brown color, approximately 2 minutes.
06
Step
1 mins
Incorporate the vegetable broth and dried tarragon into the roux, whisking vigorously until the gravy is smooth and free of any flour lumps.
07
Step

Increase the heat to medium-high, then return the mushroom mixture to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil.
08
