AIP Friendly Herb-Scented Beef Gravy
Rich, savory gravy is one of those comfort-food staples that can feel completely off the table when you're navigating an elimination protocol — most versions rely on flour, black pepper, or nightshade-based seasonings that simply don't work. This version builds deep, satisfying flavor from bone broth, beef drippings, and a fragrant blend of thyme, rosemary, turmeric, and ginger, so nothing feels like a compromise. Arrowroot starch steps in as the thickener, creating a silky, glossy consistency that coats the back of a spoon just the way a classic gravy should. A splash of apple cider vinegar adds just enough brightness to balance the richness without tipping into anything sharp or acidic. The whole thing comes together in one saucepan and gets strained smooth before serving, so the texture is clean and restaurant-worthy. It makes 6 servings, which means it's equally at home over a weeknight roast or anchoring a bigger Sunday spread.
