Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes bubbly and fragrant.
2. Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color, enhancing the flavors.
3. Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy is smooth and creamy.
4. Stir in the chopped fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme, allowing their aromatic flavors to infuse into the gravy.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your personal preference.
6. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
7. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the herb pieces.
8. Serve the herb gravy hot over your favorite roasted meats and creamy mashed potatoes for a delightful dining experience.
