Combining butter, flour, beef and chicken broths, and aromatic seasonings, this gravy is easy to prepare on the stovetop and delivers classic comfort in every bite.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients

Gravy Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely to create the base for your roux.
  2. Make Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the melted butter, whisking constantly to combine. Cook the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes until it turns a light brown color, indicating the flour is cooked and the roux is ready.
  3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Incorporate Broths: Gradually add the low sodium beef broth and chicken broth to the roux while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until smooth.
  5. Simmer Gravy: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Finish with Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to add depth of flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Use low sodium broths to control the saltiness of the gravy.
  • Whisking constantly when adding broth helps avoid lumps in the gravy.
  • If gravy becomes too thick, thin with additional broth or water.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the gravy before serving.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
