Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly bubbling.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic-butter mixture, and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Make sure the flour is fully incorporated and lightly toasted.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined. Allow it to simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove the gravy from heat and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables. Enjoy!
