Ingredients for Beef Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Beef Broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce (optional)
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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
