Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups robust beef broth
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp granulated sugar
- 1–2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt 3 Tbsp of unsalted butter over medium heat until shimmering (about 1 minute). Whisk in 3 Tbsp of all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until nutty and lightly golden.
- Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in 2 cups of robust beef broth, then 0.5 cup of whole milk, ensuring no lumps. Continue whisking as the mixture warms.
- Season and Simmer: Stir in 1 tsp of soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of granulated sugar, and 1-2 tsp of freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency and coats the back of a spoon.
Notes
For gluten-free gravy, use a cornstarch slurry (1.5 Tbsp cornstarch in 2 Tbsp cold water) instead of flour, adding at the end. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and plant-based milk (e.g., oat or soy). If gravy is lumpy, whisk vigorously or strain through a fine-mesh strainer. If too thin, simmer longer or whisk in a cornstarch slurry. If too thick, whisk in a tablespoon or two of extra broth or milk until desired consistency.
