Easy Gravy

Ingredients

• 30g Butter
• 1 small Onion, finely diced
• 3 tbsp Plain flour
• 500ml Beef stock, hot (chicken or vegetable also work)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• Black pepper, to taste

You’ll need: Saucepan, Whisk

Method

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes, until soft and lightly golden.

2. 2

   Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until it forms a paste and smells toasty.

3. 3

   Add the stock a splash at a time, whisking well after each addition so there are no lumps.

4. 4

   Stir in the soy sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 6–8 minutes, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   Season with pepper and taste for salt. Pour through a sieve for a smooth gravy if you like.
