This savory beef gravy comes together fast, with a deeply seasoned broth base built from onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a touch of Worcestershire for that classic umami backbone. A cornstarch slurry whisked in at the end gives it that glossy, spoon-coating thickness without any flour needed, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme adds an earthy, fragrant finish. It simmers up smooth and lump-free in under fifteen minutes, making it an easy weeknight addition to mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or biscuits. Since there's no added sweetener anywhere in the mix, this one pours straight into an added sugar–conscious meal without a second thought.
