Ingredients

8 servings
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium beef or chicken broth
  • 2 beef or chicken bouillon cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and pepper, (to taste)

Steps

  1. Combine the broth and the bouillon cubes in a microwave-safe container (I like to use a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup).  Use all chicken for chicken gravy or all beef for beef gravy.  Microwave for 1 minute and stir.  Repeat until the bouillon cubes have dissolved (about 2 minutes).  Do this in a small saucepan on the stove if you don't use a microwave.

  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add the flour, onion powder, rosemary, sage and thyme.  Whisk to combine and cook for 1 minute, whisking occasionally to cook out the floury taste.  Whisk the hot broth into the flour mixture.  Bring the gravy to a boil, decrease the heat to a simmer and whisk until it is as smooth as silk, about 1 minute.  Taste and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
