Mix beef stock, cornstarch and sugar together and add to mushroom mixture. Stirring well, bring to a boil, and simmer 2-3 minutes. Stir in fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to low and cook until the mixture thickens and the cornmeal is tender, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the butter, and stir until melted.

Taste the polenta, and add a little more salt and a little ground black pepper, if necessary.
