Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside in a separate bowl.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then add the whole milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk or beef broth to thin it out.
Serve the hamburger gravy warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
