Learn how to make homemade Gravy from scratch with the most basic ingredients. So simple and tasty, perfect for your mashed potatoes, steaks and fried chicken.
Warm oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add flour and whisk until both oil and flour turn into a smooth paste, about a minute.
Gradually add water while continuously stirring to make sure no lumps will form. Add broth cube, ground pepper, and soy sauce and bring to a simmer while stirring to avoid bottom from burning.
Once it starts to thicken, turn off heat. It will continue to thicken while the sauce is hot. Transfer to a bowl or gravy boat and serve while warm.
Notes
You may use 1 tablespoon butter instead of oil for added creaminess by adding it when it starts to boil.
