Brown Gravy

In a large saucepan cook onion and oil or butter over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and thyme, and cook for 2 minutes more.

Add the butter and stir until melted, add flour and cook for 5 minutes stirring constantly to ensure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the pot.

Once cooked add the beef broth, 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling turn it down to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes or until gravy is thick.

Strain through a mesh strainer and serve.
