Ingredients

• 4 large (about 2 pounds) Yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Beef or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup (optional for adjusting consistency) Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moon slices.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-35 minutes or until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Be patient during this step to let the onions develop their natural sweetness.

Step 4

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the beef or vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the soy sauce and add the fresh thyme leaves. Let the gravy simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Season the gravy with salt and ground black pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency as needed.

Step 8

Remove the gravy from heat and serve hot over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes, meatloaf, or roasted veggies.
