Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp vegan butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef stock
  • 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Melt the 3 tbsp vegan butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling.
  2. Whisk in the 3 tbsp all-purpose flour continuously for 2–3 minutes until a nutty aroma develops and the color shifts to a light golden brown.
  3. Slowly pour in the 2 cups low-sodium beef stock in a steady stream, whisking vigorously to prevent clumps.
  4. Add the 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper, whisking until the texture is smooth and the color is a consistent amber.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the gravy is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
