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.
