Brown Gravy Recipe: Velvety and Savory

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling and frothy.

Whisk in the flour and continue whisking for 3–5 minutes until the roux reaches a light golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma.

Reduce heat slightly and pour in 1/4 cup of beef broth, whisking vigorously until it forms a thick, smooth paste.

Gradually pour in the remaining beef broth in a steady stream, whisking constantly until no lumps remain and the liquid is integrated.

Stir in the onion powder, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce.

Increase heat to medium-low and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the gravy is glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
