A rich, flavorful homemade beef gravy made from simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for family dinners, this comforting sauce comes together in minutes using butter, flour, and beef broth (or pan drippings for extra depth). 

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 quart 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 cups beef broth (from pot roast drippings, premade broth or a combination)
  • 1 tsp chopped rosemary
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly golden. 
  2. Slowly pour in warm beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. 
  3. Continue cooking over medium heat until gravy thickens to your desired consistency. If it becomes too thick, whisk in a small amount of water until smooth. 
  4. Stir in rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. Serve warm over your favorite beef, potatoes, or side dish. 

Notes

  • Use pan drippings from roast beef for extra depth of flavor
  • For a silkier texture, strain gravy through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
  • Storage: refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth or water.
