Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Guinness stout beer
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and golden.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to release its aroma without burning.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux which will thicken the gravy.
- Incorporate Guinness: Slowly pour in the Guinness stout beer while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming and ensure a smooth gravy.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer and Thicken: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency.
- Season and Strain: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, strain the gravy through a fine sieve for an extra smooth texture.
- Serve: Serve the warm Guinness gravy over mashed potatoes, sausages, roast meats, or pies.
Notes
- This gravy pairs especially well with bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, or roast beef.
- For a deeper flavor, let the onions caramelize longer before adding the flour.
- Use vegetable broth instead of beef broth for a lighter and vegetarian-friendly version.
