Making the Gravy
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest. Strain the broth into a saucepan. In a separate pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Gradually add the strained broth, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens. Stir in soy sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
