Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam slightly.
Step 2
Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for 2–3 minutes until it turns a light golden color, avoiding browning too much.
Step 3
Gradually pour the vegetable broth into the roux while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Raise the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. The gravy will begin to thicken as it simmers.
Step 6
Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency (this should take about 4–5 minutes of simmering), remove it from the heat.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper based on your preference.
Step 8
Serve the gravy warm over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, biscuits, or any dish of your choice.
