Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Gather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go.

02

Step
10 mins

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. (2 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent. (10 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and a rich golden-brown color. This process coaxes out their natural sweetness. (20 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Stir in the flour, ensuring it's fully incorporated into the onions to create a smooth base for the gravy. (1 minute)

06

Step
15 mins

Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, red wine, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Bring the gravy to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)

09

Step

Serve immediately over bangers and mash, or your favorite savory dishes.

For an even richer flavor, consider using beef stock instead of chicken stock.
A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end can add a lovely tanginess to the gravy.
If you prefer a smoother gravy, you can use an immersion blender to blend it to your desired consistency after it has thickened.
The caramelization process is key to the gravy's flavor, so be patient and don't rush it.
