Flavorful Beef In Gravy Recipes

BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine butter, beef broth, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat and bring to a simmer.
• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine cornstarch and water, stirring until well combined.
• While whisking the broth CONSTANTLY, slowly add cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. I like to pour in about a tablespoon at a time to gauge consistency. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture, add only until desired consistency is reached.
• Add beef bouillon (or Kosher salt-- I just like the depth of flavor the beef bouillon adds as compared to straight up salt) and pepper to taste.
• Allow to simmer 2-3 minutes. Serve over potatoes, rice, poutine, or your favorite beef dishes.

BEEF GRAVY RECIPE (WITHOUT DRIPPINGS)

Steps:

• MAKE ROUX (FLOUR AND OIL): Put 2 tablespoons oil (or butter, half butter/half oil or fat drippings) in small saucepan. Heat to medium heat. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until the roux starts to turn a very light brown. This will get rid of the raw flour taste. Don't let it get too dark or burn. (It should be a loose paste. If too dry, add a bit more oil). Note 3 for gluten free gravy.
• FINISH GRAVY: Add half of broth. Whisk until smooth. Add rest of broth and thyme. Whisk. Cook about 3 minutes until gravy has thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, more thyme). Note 4 for added flavorings.Gravy will thicken on standing or in fridge. To loosen, add a splash of water or broth.
