Add olive oil to a large skillet.

Brown the mushrooms in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them for proper browning.

Sprinkle a little salt on the mushrooms to help them brown faster.

Remove the browned mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Add more olive oil to the skillet if necessary, then add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 40 seconds until fragrant.

Return the browned mushrooms to the skillet.

Add about 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to the mixture.

Pour in vegetable broth and cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To thicken the sauce, add a cornstarch slurry instead of flour to avoid a gluey texture.

Finish the sauce by stirring in vegan cream and vegan butter for richness.
