Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mushrooms chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon All purpose seasoning or seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Water as needed to thin out the gravy

Instructions

  • Heat up the olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is heated up, add in the onion and mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently so that they do not burn.
  • Gently sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to cook off the flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth until it is smooth and there are no lumps of flour.
  • Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Sprinkle in your seasonings including the all purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and pepper. Mix them in well.
  • If the gravy is too thick, slowly add in some water, about 1 tablespoon at a time until you get your desired consistency.
  • Serve immediately over your favorite roasted meats or vegetables. And Enjoy!
