Ingredients

3 tablespoons pan drippings (or butter)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth (preferably unsalted)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

After roasting beef, pour off all but 3 tablespoons of drippings from the roasting pan, leaving the browned bits. Place the pan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits, until the mixture is golden and bubbling.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if desired for a smoother gravy.

Tips

For a deeper flavor, use homemade beef stock or add a splash of red wine.
If the gravy is too thick, thin with a little more broth or water.
Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
