Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of minced onion
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cups of beef broth
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb of ground beef until no pink remains. Drain excess grease if needed to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Sauté and thicken: Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Stir in 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, mixing continuously until the flour is fully integrated with the butter and aromatics.
- Add broth and simmer: Gradually pour in 2 cups of beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until the gravy thickens to a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the rich ground beef gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Drain excess grease from browned beef to prevent a greasy gravy.
- Stir flour thoroughly with butter and aromatics to avoid lumps in the gravy.
- Simmer gently to thicken the gravy without burning it.
- Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, as Worcestershire sauce adds some saltiness.
- Can be made ahead and reheated gently on stovetop.
