Gravy

Method

Gravy Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring constantly until it turns a golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Broth

    Slowly add the beef broth to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the gravy to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens.

Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and salt. Stir once, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 6

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
