Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter or beef drippings
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour optional

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat your saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Melt butter or drippings; add garlic powder and flour if using, whisking for 1 minute until bubbly.
  3. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce; whisk until smooth and bring to a gentle boil for 3–5 minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper; simmer to desired consistency.
  5. Serve warm with roasts, French dips, or vegetables.

Notes

Use high-quality beef broth for best flavor. Butter substitutes like olive oil or ghee work perfectly. For gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour.
