Preparation Steps

• In a large skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, draining off any excess grease.
• Sprinkle the flour over the cooked ground beef and onions. Stir well to coat and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flour to toast slightly.
• Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
