Kittencal's Beef Gravy
By: KITTENCAL
Jan 8, 2007
This is not a fancy beef gravy and I am not claiming it to be the best, but for the ease of this recipe it's sure a great gravy that can be used for many recipes --- my favorite way to use this gravy is prepare as directed then add in slices of cooked leftover beef roast, steak or cooked meatballs to hot gravy, then serve on toasted buns with mashed potatoes--- the amount of flour listed will give you a thick gravy if you prefer a thinner gravy reduce the flour by 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons --- do not add any salt if desired it may be added in at the end of cooking --- also see my Kittencal's Easy No-Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy

- 1 tablespoon oxo beef bouillon powder (or to taste, I use 2 small package OXO beef bouillon powder)
- 4 cups canned low sodium beef broth (or use beef pan drippings with broth to make up 4 cups, omit the bouillon if using beef drippings)

Add in the black pepper, garlic powder (if using) and flour, then whisk for 1 minute.3

What an awesome gravy to adorn the top of Shirley's Perfect Roast Beef. We loved it on our mashed potatoes too! I won't use any other now that I have this one to use!

Another fabulous recipe by Kittencal 
I needed a beef gravy for a recipe I was making today (Crock Pot Melt in Your Mouth Cube Steak and Gravy) and I came across this recipe. It worked GREAT in the recipe I made. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Kitten!

This was really good I made it using the 1/2 cup of Marg and 1/2 of flour and then I added about 5 cups of drippongs from the roast. Seasoned it with Mc Cormicks Grilling mates (montreal steak).

Hi Kit, This is another winner. You are the "BEST'. I added 1/4 cup sour cream into the sauce, a tsp. of cayenne, a few tbsps. of heavy cream and my DH love it. Sooooo yumm-o. Thank you, thank you, thank you. BIG HUGS FROM GLEN OF ARIZONA.
