Gravy Ingredients
- 2 cups beef broth (you can also use beef dripping from a roast)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- ¼ cup cold water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring broth to boil: In a medium saucepan, bring the beef broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce to infuse the broth with savory depth.
- Make slurry and thicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until fully dissolved. Gradually pour this mixture into the boiling beef broth while stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season and serve: Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, ensuring the flavor is balanced and rich. Serve the hot gravy immediately over your favorite meats or potatoes.
Notes
- Using beef dripping instead of broth adds extra richness.
- Worcestershire sauce is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
- Make sure to whisk the cornstarch and water well to avoid lumps.
- Keep stirring while adding the slurry to prevent the gravy from clumping.
- Gravy can be kept warm over low heat; stir occasionally to maintain smoothness.
