Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously to form a smooth roux. Cook the roux for about 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden color.
Gradually add the chicken stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the beef stock next, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Lower the heat and let the gravy simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a perfectly smooth texture (optional).
Serve the gravy warm over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or biscuits.
