A delicious gravy to go with your roast or homemade biscuits!

Ingredients

  • ½ small onion
  • ½ cup button mushrooms (wiped with a moist paper towel and finely chopped)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • drippings from skillet (strain skillet drippings to remove any whole spices—it is not necessary to do so with the drippings from the roasting pan)

Instructions 

  • Turn the heat to medium and place a small pan on the stove.
  • Add the butter and some drippings to the pan.
  • When the butter and fat are heated, add the chopped onions and sauté for  3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  • Now add the mushrooms and let them cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour. Cook constantly, stirring, until fragrant and light brown. About 2 minutes.
  • Add the beef broth, continually stirring a little at a time, so no lumps form.
  • Add the rest of the drippings. Let the gravy cook and thicken. Approximately 7 minutes. 
  • Pour into a gravy boat to serve with your favorite roast.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, omit the flour and add 1 tablespoon of corn flour mixed into a paste with a bit of water or broth when you add the beef broth.
You can also omit the drippings, but add another tablespoon of butter.
