Instructions
- Add the beef stock, ghee, onion powder and garlic powder to a medium saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a simmer and sprinkle over the xanthan gum, whisk well.
- Continue to simmer until the gravy is a medium brown color and coats the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.(This will take maybe 4-5 minutes)
- Serve immediately over turkey or cauliflower mash.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute chicken or vegetable broth for the beef. I love the taste of beef broth and I also love the dark color it gives the gravy.
- You can substitute tapioca or arrowroot for the xanthan gum. Use 1 1/2 tablespoon dissolved in 2 tablespoons water in place of xanthan gum. Both tapioca and arrowroot do have more carbs than xanthan gum, so keep that in mind.
- Add leftovers to an air tight container and place in the fridge for up to one week.

I wish my websitе loaded up as fast as yours lol
This was really tasty. I added about 3 sprigs of fresh Rosemary finally chopped.
Smells nice, and mine looked just like your picture, but was extraordinarily lacking in flavor. I know commercial brown gravy has a lot of salt, so perhaps next time I’ll add more. I did not use a reduced sodium beef stock, so I only used about 1/2 teaspoon this time. Xanthan gum is a staple in my cupboard, and I make my own ghee in my Instant Pot from unsalted grass-fed butter.
You must have missed something in the recipe because this recipe is filled with flavor. Salt and pepper to taste means to add enough to your liking. Maybe you didn’t do that
Can the ghee be replaced with butter?
Yes, it can be used instead of ghee.
I fixed a roast in the crockpot and used beef stock for the liquid. When the roast was done I simply used the liquid from the roast, garlic powder, onion powder and xantham gum to make the gravy. No butter necessary. It was delicious! This recipe is a keeper!
