Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the flour mixture is the color of a light caramel.
- While still whisking, slowly pour in the beef broth. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. The gravy will start out runny but quickly become thick as you keep whisking. It is very important to keep stirring so the gravy doesn’t get lumps or burn.
- Add salt and pepper, to taste, and then serve immediately!

Notes
Storage: Transfer the cooled brown gravy to an airtight container and store it in fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheat: For best results, add a little extra beef broth and heat the gravy on the stove top over low heat, stirring often. You can also use the microwave, in 30-second intervals, stirring every 30 seconds!
Freeze: Transfer cooled gravy to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let gravy thaw overnight in fridge before reheating.
