Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

Step 2

Reduce the heat slightly and add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter. Stir constantly, using a wooden spoon or whisk, to form a smooth paste known as a roux.

Step 3

Continue cooking the roux for 2 to 3 minutes until it turns a light golden brown. Be careful not to burn the mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the beef broth to the roux, whisking continuously to combine and prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, continuing to whisk to ensure a smooth texture.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until all the seasonings are fully incorporated.

Step 7

Let the gravy simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.

Step 9

Remove the gravy from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
