Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce can beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to foam. Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously to create a smooth, paste-like consistency. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until it achieves a light golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking vigorously to prevent any lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 2 minutes, ensuring a smooth texture. Incorporate the ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper into the mixture.
  • Continue to cook the gravy, whisking frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning as necessary, and serve hot.
