Beef Broth Brown Gravy

Beef Broth Brown Gravy is a rich and thick gravy made by boiling beef broth infused with garlic and onion powders, and optionally Worcestershire sauce, then thickened with a cornstarch slurry. The result is a smooth, savory sauce ideal for serving over roasted or grilled meats, mashed potatoes, and other hearty dishes that benefit from a flavorful sauce.

Description

The Beef Broth Brown Gravy combines beef broth with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce to develop a deep, savory flavor. Thickened with cornstarch mixed into cold water, the gravy reaches a smooth, slightly glossy texture. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, this gravy complements proteins and sides by adding moisture and meaty notes without overpowering.

It pairs well atop meats like roast beef or grilled steak and enhances mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. The warm, thick sauce adds a comforting richness to meals.

This recipe yields about 2 cups but can be easily scaled up for larger servings by using a bigger saucepan. Adjust seasoning after thickening for best flavor balance.
