Ingredients
Dry Gravy Mix
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup beef bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
To Make Gravy (1 batch)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or meat drippings from turkey, pork, or chicken
- 2 tablespoons prepared dry gravy mix
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
To Make the Gravy Mix
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, beef bouillon powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley until evenly combined.
- Transfer the dry gravy mix to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
To Make Gravy
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter (or meat drippings, if using).
- Whisk in the prepared dry gravy mix and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes to form a smooth roux.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while continuing to whisk, breaking up any lumps as the mixture comes together.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let the gravy rest for a few minutes. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
