Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Beef bouillon granules
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry parsley flakes
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the beef bouillon granules, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, paprika, dry thyme, and dry parsley flakes.
Using a whisk or spoon, thoroughly mix the ingredients until they are evenly distributed and free of lumps. If desired, sift the mixture for an ultra-smooth texture.
Store the brown gravy mix in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place. It can be stored for up to 3 months for the best flavor.
To prepare gravy with the mix: Measure out 2 tablespoons of the brown gravy mix into a medium saucepan.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of water or a combination of water and pan drippings for a richer depth of flavor.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately over your choice of dishes. Enjoy!
