A delicious, thick and creamy Brown Gravy Recipe made with no drippings! Done in less than 10 minutes and ready to pour over everything!
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups beef stock or broth (you can add in some meat drippings if you have them, but not needed)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons beef base (we use Better Than Bouillon)
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Kosher salt to taste (we like to wait until the end to add the salt)
- 1 tablespoon cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions
- Add all the beef broth, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, beef base and black pepper to a pot. Whisk together and bring to a boil.
- Mix the cornstarch together with 1/4 cup of water until dissolved. Pour in the cornstarch mixture while whisking to prevent any lumps.
- Bring the gravy back to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cream and butter if using and add salt to taste. Whisk again to melt the butter and serve. The gravy will thicken much more as it cools.
