Enjoy this super creamy Low Carb gravy made with mushrooms over chicken, steak or pork. Made in under 15 minutes, it's the perfect quick and easy way to add loads of flavor and healthy Keto fats to your dinner!
I absolutely love mushrooms- sautéd, marinated, raw in a salad, any which way I can get them! They're also loaded with potassium, which is great for Keto!
One of my favorite ways to serve this mushroom gravy is over a piece of steak. This time around, I made some for my pan fried pork chops and wow, what a great combo!
If you decide to pan fry your steak, chicken or pork, I highly recommend using the same pan to make this mushroom gravy in. That will give this gravy that much more flavor!
This is really a quick and easy Low Carb gravy that can be made in under 15 minutes!
What's in Creamy Keto Mushroom Gravy

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
How to Make Mushroom Gravy
Heat a large skillet to medium heat, add in the butter and sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes, until they get some good color.
The darker the color of the mushrooms, the more flavor your gravy will have! Add in the garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds, careful not to brown it!
Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up the brown bits. Allow some of the liquid to evaporate, then add in the chicken stock and continue to simmer for another minute or so, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
Stir in the mascarpone cheese.
Once melted, add in the heavy cream, lemon thyme, salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
Serve with a garnish of fresh thyme over a steak, pan fried pork chops, grilled chicken or mashed cauliflower.
I poured mine over pork chops and it was the perfect combo!
Note: If you don't want to use white wine, you can substitute with chicken stock. You can also use a wild mushroom blend, instead of the baby bella's, if you'd like.
This is a thick and creamy gravy, so if you'd like it to be a little more loose, you can add an additional ¼ - ⅓ cup of heavy cream.

Recipe looks delish but wondering if dried thyme can be used. It's winter and my garden is dormant right now. Sometimes the supermarket has growing herbs, but I haven't seen thyme there.
Keto Cooking Christian
Sure! Dried thyme will have a little stronger flavor so just cut back a little on the amount and it will be just fine.
Sonia
Looks amazing, substitute for the white wine? Thank you
Keto Cooking Christian
Thank you! You can always use equal parts of chicken stock to substitute the wine.
