Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk the flour into the melted butter. Continue whisking and cook this roux for 2 to 3 minutes until it turns a light brown color. This step develops the deep flavor.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, still whisking occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir often to keep the bottom from scorching.
Whisk in the salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Remove from heat and serve your rich, savory sauce immediately over your favorite comfort food.
