Step 1

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Add the onions and mushrooms to the hot oil. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, until the mushrooms release their juices and are tender.

Step 2

Add the garlic and saute for another minute, until aromatic and browned.

Step 3

Sprinkle in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. "Cook" until lightly browned, stirring with a whisk as needed. The oil, mushroom juices, and flour will combine into a paste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking consistently. Add the soy sauce, sage and freshly ground black pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer over medium-low. Continue to whisk the gravy occasionally to prevent a film from forming.

Step 5

Simmer until the gravy coats the back of a metal spoon without falling off, or until desired thickness is reached. Taste for salt and enjoy!
