Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Beef stock (or chicken stock for a lighter flavor)
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions evenly to ensure they caramelize properly.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir to coat them in butter. Cook the onions on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until they are caramelized and golden brown. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat the onions evenly. Let the flour cook for about 1 minute to eliminate any raw taste.

Step 5

Gradually add the beef stock (or chicken stock) to the pan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 6

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with fresh thyme before serving.

Step 9

Serve the onion gravy hot over mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or any dish of your choice.
