Homemade Brown Gravy
Description
Homemade Brown Gravy is crafted from beef broth with key seasonings such as garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce that add depth to the savory base. The gravy thickens as cornstarch mixed with cold water is whisked in, forming a smooth sauce with a balanced texture. This approach avoids lumps and gives you a consistent, glossy finish.
The gravy is served warm, pairing well with roasted, grilled, or pan-fried meats, as well as side dishes like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to enrich their taste.
The recipe is straightforward, beginning with bringing the broth to a boil before seasoning and thickening, making it accessible for cooks seeking a classic brown gravy with predictable results and reasonable control over its flavor and consistency.

- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
