Cooking Notes

• Beef Broth: Low-sodium broth gives you better salt control. You can also substitute some broth with water for a milder flavor.
• Consistency: Too thick? Add more broth, a tablespoon at a time. Too thin? Simmer longer.
• Roux: Ensure butter and flour are fully combined before adding broth for a smooth gravy.
