Description
This homemade gravy is rich, flavorful, and easy to prepare using simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cube beef bouillon (or 1 tsp better than bouillon)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (can sub soy sauce)
- 2–3 drops Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce (optional. Can also use Gravy Master.)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, beef broth, beef bouillon, onion and garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Optional: If a darker color is desired, add 2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce. (Gravy Master works well too.)
- Combine the cold water and cornstarch in a small Tupperware with a lid. Shake to combine.
- Bring gravy to a boil. Whisk in cornstarch mixture. Allow gravy to thicken, then decrease to medium-low.
- Let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until your desired thickness and concentration is obtained.
- Remove from heat. Swirl in one tablespoon cold butter just before serving. This adds a silky, velvety finish.
Notes
- This gravy pairs well with mashed potatoes, meats, and other side dishes.
- Adjust seasoning as needed for taste.
