Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons butter ((optional, see notes above))
  • 4 cups beef broth ((or beef drippings, or combination of both))
  • 3 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water
  • beef bouillon (to taste)
  • ground black pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine butter, beef broth, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat and bring to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine cornstarch and water, stirring until well combined.
  • While whisking the broth CONSTANTLY, slowly add cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. I like to pour in about a tablespoon at a time to gauge consistency. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture, add only until desired consistency is reached.
  • Add beef bouillon (or Kosher salt-- I just like the depth of flavor the beef bouillon adds as compared to straight up salt) and pepper to taste.
  • Allow to simmer 2-3 minutes. Serve over potatoes, rice, poutine, or your favorite beef dishes.
