Equipment

  • saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce enhances umami flavor
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder adds savory depth

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Cornstarch Slurry

  • In a small bowl, combine the cold water and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth. This step ensures that there are no lumps in your gravy. Set it aside for later.

Step 2: Heat the Beef Broth

  • In a saucepan, bring the beef broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This allows the flavors within the broth to concentrate.

Step 3: Add Seasonings

  • As the broth heats, add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well. You're building layers of flavor and aroma.

Step 4: Thicken the Gravy

  • Once the broth has heated through, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency—usually about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Adjust Seasoning

  • Taste the gravy. If it requires more seasoning, feel free to add more salt or pepper according to your liking.

Step 6: Serve Warm

  • Remove the gravy from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This gravy can be used right away or stored for later.

Notes

Here are some handy tips for making your gravy even better:
  • Use Quality Broth: The better the broth, the richer the flavor. Look for low-sodium options or make your own.
  • Watch the Heat: Keep an eye on the temperature to prevent burning the gravy. You want a simmer, not a boil.
  • Whisk Constantly: This minimizes lumps and creates a smoother texture.
  • Cool and Store: If you have leftovers, allow the gravy to cool before transferring to an airtight container.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ground pepper and garlic powder elevate the taste, so use them when possible.
