- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup milk
Seasonings and Thickeners:
- ¼ cup flour
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sizzle 1 pound ground beef and ¼ cup chopped onions in a skillet at medium heat until meat turns golden brown and crumbly.
- Eliminate excess grease by carefully draining the skillet with a slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup flour over the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper, then stir until meat is evenly coated.
- Pour 2 cups beef broth slowly into the skillet, whisking continuously for 5-7 minutes until gravy reaches a thick, velvety consistency.
- Peel and chop 4 medium potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Boil potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes at high heat until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes completely and return to hot pan.
- Mash potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter and ¼ cup milk until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread hot mashed potatoes onto serving plates and cascade warm beef gravy directly over the top.
- Serve immediately while both gravy and potatoes maintain their perfect temperature.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease when draining after browning.
- Whisk the flour into the beef mixture carefully to prevent lumps in your gravy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef while cooking.
- Make this dish gluten-free by substituting cornstarch for flour and using gluten-free beef broth.
