Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, use beef drippings from a roast instead of butter.
- Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more or less broth based on your preference.
