Rice

Gravy

Method

Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being gummy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice before serving.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter until it is fully melted and starts to bubble.

  2. 5

    Make the Roux

    Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

  3. 6

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Slowly pour in 2 cups of beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, 0.5 tsp of garlic powder, 0.5 tsp of onion powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
