Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups beef or chicken stock
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the saucepan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef or chicken stock and coconut aminos, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the simmering stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add the fresh thyme, black pepper, and sea salt to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Allow the gravy to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the gravy has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite paleo-compliant dishes.
