Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fat from pan drippings
- 2 cups sugar-free beef broth or beef bone broth
- Up to 2 tablespoons xanthan gum or guar gum
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, slowly heat the fat from pan drippings.
- Mix in the beef broth or bone broth and bring to a boil.
- After the mixture has boiled, lower to a simmer and whisk in the xanthan gum or guar gum. Do not just “dump” in the thickener – it nees to be sifted in and stired in immediately.
- Continue whisking as the mixture thickens. If further thickening is needed, additional thickener may be added 1 tablespoon at time.
- Serve Immediately or if using for a later date, let cool and transfer to a storage container, seal well, and refrigerate.
Notes
If you are refrigerating for future use, you may need to slowly add more beef broth to thin it slightly as it warms up on the stove.
