Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil
  • 2 cups gluten-free beef or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter or heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the saucepan and whisk continuously until the mixture forms a smooth paste, known as a roux.
  • Cook the roux for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook off any raw flour taste.
  • Slowly pour the gluten-free beef or vegetable broth into the saucepan, whisking continuously to incorporate the broth into the roux.
  • Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, onion powder, and garlic powder to the saucepan.
  • Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the gravy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the amounts according to your preference.
  • Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Keep in mind that the gravy will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.
  • Remove the gravy from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure that the gluten-free all-purpose flour you use is labeled as gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve after simmering to remove any lumps or herbs.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or a dash of tamari or soy sauce to the gravy.
