Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons)
  • Onions (3 large, sliced)
  • All-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
  • Beef or vegetable broth (2 cups)
  • Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until foamy.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. This slow cooking process brings out the natural sweetness of the onions.
  3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat evenly, allowing the flour to cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Gradually pour in the beef or vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Add the Worcestershire sauce, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 10 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
  7. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce as desired.
  8. Serve hot over your favorite roasted meats, mashed potatoes, or even sautéed vegetables for a delightful meal.
