Ingredients

1  lb ground beef 85/15 or 90/10 lean
1 small yellow onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
3  Tbsp all-purpose flour
2  cups beef broth low-sodium
1  Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2  Tbsp butter
Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Brown the Beef

In a large skillet warmed to medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

Sauté the Onion & Garlic

Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the Flour

Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Build the Gravy

Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Simmer to Thicken

Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.

Finish with Butter

Stir in butter until melted and smooth for a glossy, rich gravy.
