Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly until the mixture turns a light golden color.

Cooking the Gravy

  1. 3

    Incorporate Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Milk

    Slowly add the milk to the mixture, continuing to stir. Allow the gravy to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Remove from heat and serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, biscuits, or meats.
