Brown Gravy Recipe

Brown Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tsp better than bouillon
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2-3 drops Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce optional.
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon cold unsalted butter
• Drippings from meat

Instructions

• Add the chicken broth, beef broth, beef bouillon, onion and garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to a medium saucepan. Using fine mesh strainer, strain in drippings from meat, to taste.
• 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 bowl and whisk until smooth.
• 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 recipe yields 1 + 1/4 cups without drippings
