Brown Gravy

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat

  2. 2

    Once butter is melted and bubbling, whisk in the flour continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a roux, cooking until it turns a light golden brown

  3. 3

    Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming

  4. 4

    Add onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, stirring to combine

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste

  7. 7

    If gravy becomes too thick, whisk in additional broth; if too thin, simmer longer to reduce

  8. 8

    Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a perfectly smooth gravy...
