Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup flour

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 quart cold beef broth (as high-quality as possible)

black pepper to taste

Directions

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the mixture is golden-brown and smells like cooked pie crust.

Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in a cup of the cold beef broth, and then add the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer, whisking, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

You May Add Sauteed Onions or Mushrooms to This Also!!!

Mmmmm..the dijon mustard is tops with me!! I like to save the cooking water from my roasts and use that for gravy, too! But, as we all know...broth is always available on the shelf at home :o)

This is a good one. I love mashed potatoes and gravy but sometimes don't have the meat drippings to make the gravy

Very nice and tangy gravy already. Might not need to add too much salt. It already has great flavor.

What a showy gravy. Ladled some over a potato dumpling recipe for a picture. Hope you like it.

I'll have to try this with the dumplings! Thats a good idea for a nice comfort meal!

Made this again. Used it in a stuffed shells recipe that required some bake time. Unfortunately the gravy thinned back out again upon baking. That's OK, still had very good flavor.

Made some sauteed mushrooms for the gravy this time. Put them in after the simmer time to keep the 'shrooms from getting chewy.
