Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.

Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty.

Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.

Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan.
