Guinness Gravy

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup (120 grams) onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 teaspoons flour
• 1 (236 ml) beef broth/stock
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) Guinness stout
• 2 teaspoons tomato ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste depending how salty your broth is)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Small pinch sugar (if needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted and bubbling add the onions and cook, stirring often until softened, not browned.

2. 2

   Add the flour into the butter to the onions and mix well to combine. Cook, stirring for a minute or so to cook out the raw flour taste.

3. 3

   Add the broth, Guinness and Worcestershire sauce and stir. Whisk in the tomato ketchup until well mixed. Bring to a low simmer until thickened. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. If it tastes a little bitter from the Guinness, add a tiny pinch of sugar.
