Ingredients
  

For the Gravy
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth Feel free to use Halal-certified beef broth.
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
  3. Stir in the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
  4. Gradually add the beef broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  5. Add the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Before serving, taste the gravy and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve hot over your favorite dishes!

Notes

Store your Mexican Brown Gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring occasionally. If it thickens too much, whisk in a bit more broth or water.
