Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef or chicken stock (gluten-free certified)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: Onion powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef or chicken stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with salt and ground black pepper. If desired, stir in the optional garlic powder and onion powder for additional flavor.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, meats, or roasted vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of stock or water if needed to thin the consistency.
