If you want to learn how to make Onion Gravy for those classic homemade comfort dishes, here is a simple and quick recipe you can turn to time and time again.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
- 1 Onion Peeled and sliced
- 2 tsp Plain flour
- 400 ml Beef stock
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 - 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce See Notes.
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Stir over a low heat for 5-6 minutes until soft. (Cook on low for longer if you have time).
- Add the flour and stir for 1 minute until the onions are coated.
- Turn the heat up a little to medium and slowly add the beef stock, stirring all the time.
- Add the mustard, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
- If you have a hand blender, blend until smooth.
Notes
Onions If you want the onions to stay in nice neat pieces as they cook, cut them in half moons root to tip (like in my prep photo). If you cut them the opposite way, they tend to disintegrate more.
No lumps Add the stock slowly to the flour and onions and stir continuously to avoid lumps forming.
Texture Use a hand blender for a smooth consistency.
Worcestershire Sauce Start with 1 tbsp and add more to taste. I use the full amount, but some people prefer not such a strong flavour.
