How to Make Beef Gravy
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light brown color.
- Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent clumping. It will bubble and spit, so be careful!
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet (optional) for deeper color and flavor.
- Increase heat to medium. Continue to stir until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens to your desired consistency (adding more broth if needed).
- Serve immediately over your favorite dish. Makes approximately 2 cups.
