For a deeper, richer flavor, use homemade beef broth. You can also use pan drippings from a roast in place of butter for even more flavor. If the gravy becomes too thick, whisk in a little more beef broth until you reach the desired consistency. If it's too thin, simmer for a few more minutes. For a smoother gravy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
