Do you want to make a perfect Gravy From Beef Broth Recipe? This guide shows you how to make Gravy From Beef Broth Recipe at home.
Equipment
- Small Saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- Butter 1/4 Cup
- All-purpose Flour 1/4 Cup
- Beef Broth 2 Cups
- Black Pepper 1/2 Tsp
- Onion Powder 1/2 Tsp
- Garlic Powder 1/4 Tsp
- Worcestershire Sauce 1 Tsp
Instructions
- Place the saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Add your butter to the pan. Let the butter melt until it bubbles slightly.
- Add the flour to the melted butter. Whisk them together very quickly. This creates a thick paste called a roux. Cook it for one minute to remove the raw taste.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth. Whisk the mixture while you pour. This step is vital to keep it smooth. Do not pour all the liquid at once.
- Add the pepper and garlic powder now. Stir in the onion powder and Worcestershire sauce. Keep whisking until everything is well combined. This ensures the flavor is even.
- Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil too hard. The gravy will start to thicken up. Stir it constantly for about three minutes.
- Check the thickness with a spoon. The gravy should coat the back of the spoon. Turn off the heat once it looks right. Serve the gravy while it is hot.
Notes
- Use cold broth to avoid lumps in the sauce.
- Whisk the flour and butter very well at first.
- Cook the flour paste until it smells like cookies.
- Add a splash of heavy cream for extra richness.
- Taste the gravy before adding any extra salt.
- Keep the heat on medium to prevent burning.
