Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 carrots rough chopped
  • 2 stalks celery rough chopped
  • 1 onion rough chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups beef stock broth will work as well
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
  2. Add the carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper.
  3. Cook until veggies are slightly softened and turning golden brown.
  4. Add the flour and stir until the veggies are coated.
  5. Add the beef stock or broth and stir until smooth.
  6. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes depending on your preference.
  7. Strain and serve.

Notes

  • Keep the gravy at a gentle simmer after adding the stock to prevent it from breaking or becoming too thick too quickly.
  • Always start with a cold roux (equal parts butter and flour) to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth gravy base.
  •  If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of stock or water. If it’s too thin, let it simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
