US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter then whisk in the flour and allow to cook 2-3 minutes
  • Stir in the bouillon powder, garlic powder, parsley, and pepper until evenly distributed
  • Slowly pour in the beef broth a little at a time, and mix well after each addition
  • Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until desired thickness is reached (about 5-10 minutes)
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to whisk the flour and the butter into a smooth paste and get all the lumps of flour out in the process. If you don't the gravy will be lumpy.
  • This recipe is easy to double if you are serving a crowd.
  • The gravy will thicken more as it cools.
