This easy-to-follow recipe ensures you can make delicious brown gravy from scratch, without the need for drippings. It’s a quick and versatile sauce that can elevate any meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 beef bouillon cube (or 1 teaspoon better than bouillon)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat the Broth: In a medium saucepan, combine the beef broth, chicken broth, beef bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Make the Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. This slurry will help thicken the gravy without lumps.
- Thicken the Gravy: Gradually whisk the slurry into the boiling broth mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to whisk until the gravy thickens about 2-3 minutes.
- Finish with Butter: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cold butter until melted. This adds a silky, velvety finish to the gravy.
- Season and Serve: Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, meatloaf, or any dish that could use a flavorful boost.
