Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Make the Roux: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Once melted, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously until the mixture turns golden brown and smells nutty. This roux forms the base that thickens and flavors the gravy.
  2. Add Broth Slowly: Gradually whisk in the beef broth a little at a time to prevent lumps, stirring constantly to achieve a silky smooth gravy. Keep the heat steady but moderate to avoid burning.
  3. Season and Simmer: Stir in chicken bouillon powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the gravy from heat when thick and flavorful. For extra smoothness, strain through a fine mesh sieve. Serve warm with your favorite comfort foods.

Notes

  • Whisk constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Use low and slow heat to avoid burning and achieve a silky gravy.
  • Choose good quality beef broth for deeper flavor.
  • Adjust gravy thickness by adding more broth to thin or simmering longer to thicken.
  • Store leftover gravy in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently on low heat, whisking frequently; add broth or water if too thick.
