Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ C onion diced
  • 1 C any flavor broth or stock can be substituted with water and ½ tsp salt or with meat drippings
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • salt & pepper optional

Method
 

  1. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). To get a darker colored gravy, cook the onion until it's caramelized.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Slowly stir in broth/stock and soy sauce until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, about 3 minutes. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  5. Serve & enjoy! (Note, the gravy will thicken as it rests. Stir before serving.)
