A deliciously easy Onion gravy made with slow-cooked sweet caramelized onions, a touch of mustard, and fresh thyme. This tasty gravy is delicious over mashed potatoes, pan-fried chicken, hamburger patties, Yorkshire Pudding, or bangers and mash.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large yellow onions cut in half and sliced thin
  • ? teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (1 teaspoon dried thyme)

How To Make onion gravy

  • Step 1
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and salt. Turn or stir the onions every few minutes until they reach a nice golden brown color. If the onions are browning too fast reduce the heat a bit and if they stick to the bottom of the pan deglaze them with a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, wine, or balsamic vinegar.
  • Step 2
    Once the onions are browned and caramelized stir in the beef broth (reserving 1/4 cup to mix with the cornstarch), Worcestershire Sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine and bring to a low boil.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl whisk together the reserved beef broth and cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the gravy whisking to combine. Boil just until thickened.
  • Step 4
    Reduce heat to low and season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the the fresh thyme. For best results serve promptly.
