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.

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.

ROAST BEEF & GRAVY
Perfectly cooked roast beef with a great gravy...classic comfort food, at its best!!! Since I use a low oven temperature to cook the roast to retain the flavorful juices, it's necessary to make a rich, meaty gravy without the pan juices...and it is a gravy worthy of my perfectly cooked roast beef!!!! If you find a lot of juice in the roasting pan, chances are that the meat will be dry and tough. Serve along with mashed potatoes and green beans, and you have an old-fashioned dinner...just like Mama made!!!!

Steps:
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub 2 teaspoons salt evenly over the surface of the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Again, pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub with 1 teaspoon of pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown the roast on all sides, 8 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a V-rack set inside of a roasting pan (if you don't have a V-rack, use a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet.) Do NOT wipe out the Dutch oven. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and cook until the center of the meat registers 120 to 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (for medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Adjust cooking time, if you like your roast more or less done. Here is a list of temperatures to test for doneness: Cook until meat thermometer registers for -- RARE - 115 to 120 degrees -- MEDIUM-RARE - 120 to 125 degrees -- MEDIUM - 130 to 135 degrees -- MEDIUM-WELL - 140 to 145 degrees -- WELL-DONE - 150 to 155 degrees.
- Meanwhile, add the chopped mushrooms to the fat in the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery and cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, minced garlic, and flour and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the red wine and broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain the gravy, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste; cover and keep warm.
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Slice the roast crosswise against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with the gravy.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all excellent choices for beef in gravy. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the stew pot helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the gravy, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, beefy flavor.
- Add vegetables to the stew: Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture to the stew.
- Season the stew to taste: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The stew needs to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Thicken the gravy: Once the stew is cooked, you can thicken the gravy by adding a cornstarch or flour slurry.
Conclusion:
Beef in gravy is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be served over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef in gravy that your family and friends will love.
