Yield: 6

Ingredients

1 heaping Tbsp. butter
1 heaping Tbsp. flour
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tsp. Better Than Boullion roasted beef base
A few dashes Maggi seasoning (or soy sauce)
A few dashes Worcestershire sauce
Black pepper

Steps

In a saucepan, add water and beef base and warm over medium heat. Pour stock into a Pyrex cup and set aside as you make the roux. Continuing on medium heat, whisk butter and flour together for 3-4 minutes in the saucepan, until it bubbles and turns a deep blonde. Slowly add the warmed beef stock into the roux, whisking vigorously to ensure no lumps. Keep whisking. If you’d like your gravy a bit thicker, don’t add all the stock. Add a few dashes each of Maggi seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk some more.
