Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (can add in more when sauce is cooking)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for a really think gravy increase by 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules (I use two small packages OXO beef bouillon powder)
- 4 cups low-sodium canned beef broth (you can use beef or pork pan drippings from a roast with the canned broth to measure 4 cups, if using pan drippings omit the bouillon powder)
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat.
-
Step 2: Add in black pepper, garlic powder, flour and bouillon powder; stir for 1 minute or until combined.
-
Step 3: Slowly pour in the beef broth whisking constantly until bubbly and thickened.
-
Step 4: Once the gravy has thickened immediately reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 3 minutes stirring slowly.
-
Step 5: Season with more black pepper if desired.
