Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Butter
3 cup Beef Stock as needed
1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
3 small Onions diced
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Sage
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

Start by adding your oil and onions into a pan on the stove. Heat over medium heat, sauteing the onions for 5-8 minutes. You want to create a golden brown color on the onions. Make sure to lower heat if you see they are beginning to burn.
Next toss in the salt, pepper, thyme and sage, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir for a minute then pour in the beef broth.
Bring the onion gravy mixture to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer to allow it to slowly cook and reduce.
Whisk in the heavy cream stirring often, and continue to let it simmer for around 5 minutes.
Once the onion gravy reaches your desired thickness, taste and then season as you need, and serve up the gravy.

Notes

Onions - You will want to use yellow or white onions for this recipe. Vidalia onions work great as they offer a nice savory and hint of sweet to the gravy.

Mushrooms - If you want stir in some mushroom to add even more flavor to the gravy.

Spices and Seasonings - Feel free to change up the gravy as you need. This is what we used but feel free to change it up if you want a different flavor.

Storing - Store your homemade onion gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Thicken - If you want an even thicker gravy mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon cold water and stir in at the end of cooking to thicken the gravy.
