Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 3
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to create a paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, a little at a time, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Step 5
Add the soy sauce, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Lower the heat and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more soy sauce, salt, or pepper.
Step 8
Remove the gravy from the heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or your favorite dish.
