Gravy Ingredients
Method
Gravy Directions
- 1
Melt the Butter
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is completely liquid.
- 2
Add the Flour
Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour until it forms a paste (roux). Cook this roux for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
- 3
Slowly Add Beef Broth
Slowly pour in the beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth.
- 4
Season the Gravy
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all the seasonings into the gravy.
- 5
Simmer
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- 6
Finishing Touch
If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for a fresh touch.
- 7
Serve
Remove the gravy from heat and serve hot over mashed potatoes, meat, or your favorite dishes.
