Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cube beef bouillon (or 1 tsp better than bouillon)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (can sub soy sauce)
  • 2-3 drops Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce (optional. Can also use Gravy Master.)
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the chicken broth, beef broth, beef bouillon, onion and garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Optional: If a darker color is desired, add 2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce. (Gravy Master works well too.)

  3. 3

    Combine the cold water and cornstarch in a small Tupperware with a lid. Shake to combine.

  4. 4

    Bring gravy to a boil. Whisk in cornstarch mixture. Allow gravy to thicken, then decrease to medium-low.

  5. 5

    Let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until your desired thickness and concentration is obtained.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat. Swirl in one tablespoon cold butter just before serving. This adds a silky, velvety finish.
