How To Make poutine
-
Step 1In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown.
-
Step 2Add the beef broth, bouillon, seasonings, and herbs. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
-
Step 3Remove rosemary and thyme sprigs or run gravy through a fine mesh sieve to remove all solids. Return gravy to the pot.
-
Step 4Whisk in about HALF the corn starch mixture and simmer for a minute or so. If you'd like your gravy thicker, add more of the cornstarch mixture in small increments to thicken as desired.
-
Step 5Prepare fries according to package directions using your preferred cooking method. Season with salt as desired.
-
Step 6Place fries on a plate and top with cheese curds. Ladle gravy generously over curds and fries. Serve and enjoy.
