Ingredients

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon butter can use dairy free
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour mixed with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to saucepan and slowly bring up to a simmer or low bowl
  • Let simmer while whisking for 3-5 minutes until gravy has thickened
  • Taste and salt and pepper if needed

Notes

  • can be made in advance and reheated when ready to serve
  • I prefer cornstarch or tapioca flour made into a slurry for best results, but you could also use flour
  • for a dairy free option, omit butter or use a dairy free version
  • be sure to bring to a simmer but not a boil for best results
