Directions

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until translucent and lightly golden brown.
2. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle over the flour and toast for about 1 minute.
