Preparation

- Carefully drain any excess fat from the pan, leaving about one tablespoon for flavor.
- Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt. Once melted, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes until you reach a light golden color.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, you’ll see it begin to thicken, creating that luxurious creamy texture.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes while the gravy thickens further.
- Remove from heat and serve your creamy beef gravy warm over your favorite dish.
