Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 3 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Beef base/broth or prepared beef bouillon
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  • Heat oil over medium high heat in a medium sized, heavy pan. Whisk in flour. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until roux turns dark golden brown, about 6 or 7 minutes.
  • Combine broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add liquid to roux, being VERY CAREFUL. The flour/oil mixture and the pan are very hot. The liquid will jump quite a bit at the beginning. Whisk until well combined.
  • Continue cooking for 5 minutes or so until thickened. Serve immediately.
