Comment préparer All Purpose Gravy
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and well-browned (about 8-10 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until well-browned (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring no lumps form.
- Bring mixture to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add bay leaf, thyme, and peppercorns.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to 3 cups.
- Strain gravy through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl or container. Press on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cool completely before storing or freezing.
- **To thaw frozen gravy:** Add frozen gravy to a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water. Warm over low heat, whisking frequently, until thawed and heated through. Gravy may appear separated; whisk vigorously to recombine.
