Ingredients
- 4 sausages
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove sausages from refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned on all sides, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Once sausages are golden brown, remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate. Keep them warm by covering with foil.
- In the same pan, add sliced onions and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the caramelized onions and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a smooth consistency.
- Return the browned sausages to the pan, coating them in the onion gravy. Simmer for an additional 5-6 minutes to ensure sausages are fully cooked through.
- Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, typically with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
Tips
- Choose high-quality sausages for the best flavor - preferably from a local butcher if possible.
- Let sausages come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even browning.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to prevent burning and achieve perfect caramelization.
- Cook onions slowly on medium-low heat to develop deep, sweet flavor.
- Stir flour continuously when adding to prevent lumps in your gravy.
- Use beef broth at room temperature to help create a smoother sauce.
- Don't rush the gravy-making process - patience creates the most incredible flavor.
- For extra richness, you can add a splash of red wine or a knob of butter to the gravy.
- Serve immediately while the gravy is hot and sausages are perfectly cooked.
