INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped(about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Heat butter in saucepan over medium-high heat.


When foaming subsides, add vegetables and cook, stirring frequently until softened and well browned, about 7 minutes.


Reduce heat to medium. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.


Whisking constantly, gradually add broths.


Bring to boil.


Reduce heat to medium-low and add bay leaf, and thyme.


Simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened and reduced to about 3 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.


Strain gravy through fine-mesh strainer into clean saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids.


Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.


Serve hot.

We decided to remove just the bay leaf. Then, we mashed the solids and returned them to the gravy.
