Description
A rich and savory gravy that complements any dish, perfect for holiday meals or everyday dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken or beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder if using. Adjust to taste.
- Serve warm over your favorite dishes.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use drippings from roasted meat instead of broth.
- If the gravy is too thick, whisk in additional broth or water until the desired consistency is reached.
- For a smoother gravy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
