Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Sauté the onion in the oil over medium heat with salt and pepper, until the onion begins to turn golden brown. Add the flour and stir. A roux should form; cook it for several minutes until it starts to darken.

2

Add the stock and stir until smooth. Add the yeast extract—as the gravy warms it will become incorporated. Taste and season if necessary. When the gravy simmers, it is done.

3

Strain into a gravy boat or other serving container and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
