Rich, velvety, and packed with savory flavor, this homemade onion gravy is the perfect accompaniment to elevate any meal. Caramelized yellow onions form the flavorful base of this sauce, their natural sweetness enhanced with a touch of sugar and balanced by the tangy depth of Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. A blend of butter, olive oil, and all-purpose flour creates a luscious, silky texture, while beef or vegetable stock ties everything together. With just 10 minutes of prep and a beautifully browned, golden finish, this versatile gravy pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or even your favorite vegetarian dishes. Whether for a special gathering or a cozy family meal, this onion gravy is a must-try!
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to sizzle.
Add the thinly sliced onions to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and cook, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Once the onions are caramelized, sprinkle the flour over them and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the beef or vegetable stock to the pan, a little at a time, while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the gravy with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Simmer the gravy for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the gravy from heat and serve warm. Pour it over your favorite dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables.
