In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Next, add the beef stock, continuing to whisk as you pour.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the gravy immediately over your favorite dishes, or keep it warm until ready to use.
