Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and golden brown.2 tbsp AP flour
- Whisk in ¼ cup of the beef broth, the mixture will become a very thick paste. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup more broth. Once the mixture has thinned slightly you can gradually whisk in the remaining broth.1 ½ cup beef broth/stock
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, the beef base, and the pepper.½ tsp Worcestershire sauce½ tsp beef - better than bouillonpinch pepper
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened and glossy.
- Add the heavy cream, taste and season with salt if needed.2 tbsp heavy cream salt to taste
Notes
- Beef better than bouillon is an intense beef base, you can replace it with the beef paste or half a crumbled beef stock cube. It adds great beefy depth and saltiness to your gravy helping to replace the flavor missing from drippings. You can leave it out but you will find you need to add more salt to your brown gravy.
