Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 750 grams ground beef, (1½ lb)
  • 1-2 tablespoons cooking oil, your choice
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • salt and cracked black pepper, as desired

Instructions
 

  • Heat the cooking oil in a large pan, when hot, add the onion and sauté to just get the onion starting to soften. I am using a marble wok pan, which is a flat bottomed wok, it is deep, and very non stick. I am going to serve the gravy over mashed potatoes so the potatoes are starting to boil on the right.
  • When the onion is starting to soften, add the ground beef, season generously with cracked black pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spatula until cooked through. Drain the fat into a measuring cup, reserving ½ cup, discard the rest. Place cooked beef on a plate and set aside.
  • Return the reserved fat and the butter to the same pan, place on medium high heat. When hot, sprinkle in the flour and whisk in until starting to just brown.
  • Whisk in the milk and season generously with cracked black pepper. Taste and season with salt as desired. Continue whisking until gravy is bubbly and thickened.
  • Return the cooked beef to the pan and stir in, reduce heat to medium and cook to heat the beef through.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, toast, or biscuits with a side of your choice, enjoy.
