Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons pan drippings (optional)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Continue whisking and cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the roux turns a golden brown color to develop its flavor.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. If using pan drippings, stir them in at this stage.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken as you stir occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve immediately over your favorite dishes, or keep warm on low heat until ready to use.
