Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups beef stock or broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously until the mixture forms a smooth paste, known as a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the beef stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, while whisking to combine. Ensure the mixture remains smooth and lump-free before adding more stock.

Step 4

Once all the stock has been incorporated, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 6

Remove the gravy from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roast beef, or vegetables.
