I needed gravy in a pinch so I did 3 bullion cubes to 1 1/2 cups water added 1/4onion, 1/4 butter and 1/4 flour all in a sauce pan at once it heated and thicken for gravy I needed added prepped to taste too it worked out great for a gravy in a pinch!!
A gravy with no fat? Does not compute. An easy roux with the beef fat and a sprinkling of flour and then the bouillon and water mixture added will make a more traditional gravy.
Well yeah...but given the poster is probably level 1 on cooking skills. Making a roux might be above the grade.
Roux comes in 102...this is 101...right after "boil water"....and then then they burn the water.
Lol. I interpreted the question as "can I use bouillon instead of beef stock to make a gravy". Now the op has the option to do what will work for them. It takes a village.
The simplest way is to heat the cubes and water..and then stir in a tsp or two of cornstarch mixed with water. Heat it until it thickens up. Add more cornstarch/water mixture and more heat to get right thickness. It should boil to thicken.
