Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture forms a smooth roux and takes on a light golden brown color.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock and beef stock while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce for an added depth of flavor.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve warm over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or use as a dipping sauce.
