Delicious Brown Gravy Recipe for All Occasions

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup water (as needed for consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Melt Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

    Ensure the butter doesn't brown.
  2. Add Flour

    Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it's golden.

    This creates a roux for thickening.
  3. Stir in Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps.

    Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add Seasonings

    Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

    Adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Simmer

    Bring the gravy to a simmer and let it thicken.

    This should take about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Adjust Consistency

    If the gravy is too thick, add water a little at a time.

    Whisk well after each addition.
  7. Serve

    Once thickened to your liking, remove from heat and serve.

    Great over meats or mashed potatoes.
