Gravy Ingredients

Method

Gravy Directions

1

Melt the Butter

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is completely melted and starts to bubble slightly.

2

Add Flour

Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour. Continue whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and turns a light golden brown. This is called a roux.

3

Add Broth

Slowly add the chicken or beef broth to the roux while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.

4

Season the Gravy

Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the gravy. Stir well to combine all the seasonings.

5

Simmer

Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.

6

Finish and Serve

If desired, stir in fresh parsley for added flavor. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over your favorite dishes.
