Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or beef drippings)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 3/4 cups unsalted (or low-sodium) beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction:

1. Add the butter or the meat drippings to a saucepan over medium heat. Immediately after the butter has melted, sprinkle with the flour and whisk to combine. Allow to cook and whisk constantly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2. Begin adding the beef broth a splash at a time (about a 1/4 cup), whisking well after each addition. Once the mixture begins to resemble a pudding-like texture, you may begin streaming the remaining broth in slowly, whisking all the while.
3. Once all of the broth has been incorporated, add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
