Classic Brown Gravy

Ingredients

• •3 tablespoons butter
• •3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• •2 cups beef broth
• •1/2 cup pan drippings or beef stock
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• •1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• •1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. 1Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2Whisk in flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
3. 3Gradually add beef broth and pan drippings, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
4. 4Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
5. 5Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring to combine.
6. 6Simmer for 2-3 minutes more until desired consistency is reached, then serve hot.

💡 Brown gravy needs the roux cooked until it smells nutty before broth goes in; pale flour taste remains obvious in such a simple sauce.
