Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquid and bubbling.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Incorporate the Broth

    Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk until the gravy starts to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to the mixture. Whisk well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, stir in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce for additional flavor. Mix well.

Finishing Touch

  1. 6

    Simmer & Serve

    Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavors. Serve warm over your favorite meats or mashed potatoes.
