Provided by Echo Blickenstaff

Categories     Dinner     Main Course     Sauce

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter ((optional, see notes above))
4 cups beef broth ((or beef drippings, or combination of both))
3 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
beef bouillon (to taste)
ground black pepper (to taste)

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.

EASY BEEF GRAVY



Easy Beef Gravy image

Easy beef gravy. This recipe works with beef that doesn't have too much juice and/or when boiling potatoes for mashing. Or with just a can of beef broth and water. I like this as it works well when making mashed potatoes and beef, when not too many drippings from the main beef course are available.

Tips for Making Beef Broth Gravy:

  • Use a flavorful broth: Choose a high-quality beef broth or stock as the base of your gravy. Look for one that is made with real beef bones and has a rich, savory flavor.
  • Add aromatics: To enhance the flavor of your gravy, add aromatic vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté them in a little butter or oil until they are softened and fragrant.
  • Use a roux: A roux is a mixture of equal parts flour and fat (such as butter or oil) that is used to thicken gravy. Cook the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown. This will add a rich, nutty flavor to your gravy.
  • Deglaze the pan: After browning the meat, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine, white wine, or beef broth. This will help to loosen any browned bits and add flavor to the gravy.
  • Simmer the gravy: Once you have combined all of the ingredients, simmer the gravy over low heat for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Beef broth gravy is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is especially well-suited for beef, pork, and chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a flavorful and satisfying beef broth gravy that will impress your family and friends.
