Ingredients:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules

 

Instructions:

1. Make a roux:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour. Stir constantly for 3–5 minutes until the roux turns a light golden brown (this adds flavor and color).

2. Add seasoning:
Stir in onion powder, white pepper, and salt.

3. Slowly whisk in liquids:
Gradually pour in the chicken broth and water while whisking to prevent lumps.

4. Add beef bouillon:
Stir in the beef bouillon granules. Bring the gravy to a simmer.

5. Simmer and thicken:
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened to your desired consistency.

6. Taste and adjust:
Add more salt or pepper if needed. If it gets too thick, thin with a little more water or broth.
