How to Make Healthy Beef Or Chicken Gravy

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley in 1 cup low-sodium beef or chicken broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat until vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot broth from the saucepan until smooth.
  3. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the remaining broth.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. If using for beef gravy, stir in 2 tablespoons of beef drippings or 1 tablespoon of beef base for enhanced flavor. For chicken gravy, add 1 tablespoon of chicken base or use the pan drippings from roasted chicken.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
