How to Make a Bone Broth-Based Gravy with Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth

Gravy is the soul of a hearty meal, but traditional recipes often rely on flour-laden roux and store-bought stock cubes that lack depth and nutrition. If you're looking for a way to elevate your roasts, stews, or mashed potatoes while staying true to a whole-foods lifestyle, bone broth-based gravy is the answer. By using Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth as the base, you infuse every spoonful with collagen, minerals, and a rich, savory flavor that no powder can match.

In this guide, we'll walk you through a simple, foolproof method for making a silky, gluten-free gravy using beef bone broth. Whether you're following a paleo, keto, or simply a from-scratch cooking approach, this recipe will become a staple in your kitchen. Best of all, it requires just a few ingredients and about 15 minutes of active time.

Why Bone Broth Gravy? The Nutritional Edge

Bone broth is more than just a flavorful liquid—it's a powerhouse of nutrition. Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth is made from grass-fed beef bones, simmered for hours to extract gelatin, collagen, glycine, and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. When used as a gravy base, these nutrients are carried into your meal, supporting joint health, digestion, and skin vitality. Unlike conventional gravy made with refined flour and artificial additives, this version is naturally rich and satisfying.

Moreover, bone broth gravy fits seamlessly into grain-free and low-carb diets. Traditional gravy thickens with wheat flour, which can be problematic for those with gluten sensitivities or those avoiding empty carbs. Our method uses a small amount of arrowroot powder or tapioca starch—or even a reduction technique for a completely starch-free option—so you can enjoy a thick, glossy gravy without compromise.

• Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth provides natural gelatin for body and mouthfeel without added thickeners.
• Paleo-friendly: no grains, dairy, or refined sugars.
• Boosts collagen intake with every serving.

Ingredients for the Perfect Bone Broth Gravy

To make approximately 2 cups of gravy, you'll need: 2 cups of Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth (or a mix of beef and chicken broth for complexity), 2 tablespoons of fat (such as pan drippings from roasted meat, butter, or ghee), 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder or tapioca starch (optional—omit for a thinner, more broth-like gravy), and salt and pepper to taste. For extra depth, consider adding a splash of coconut aminos or a sprig of fresh thyme.

The key is using high-quality broth. Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth comes in a convenient 600ml bottle, which is just over 2.5 cups—perfect for this recipe with a little leftover for sipping. If you want a richer flavor, you can combine it with Hill Farm Whole Chicken Broth for a layered poultry note, especially when serving with chicken or turkey.

• Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth 600ml – the star ingredient.



• Arrowroot powder: a gluten-free thickener that works at lower temperatures.
• Pan drippings: capture the browned bits from your roast for maximum flavor.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Bone Broth Gravy

Start by roasting your meat (beef, lamb, or chicken) in a pan. Once cooked, transfer the meat to a platter and reserve the pan with drippings. Place the pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved fat (or butter/ghee) and whisk in the arrowroot powder if using. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw starch taste. Slowly pour in 2 cups of Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. As it heats, the broth will thicken slightly. Continue whisking for 3–5 minutes until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. If you prefer a thinner gravy, simply add more broth or a splash of water. For a richer color, a dash of tamari or coconut aminos works wonders. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a perfectly smooth finish.

• Always whisk broth into the fat gradually to avoid lumps.
• Simmering helps the flavors meld and the gravy to thicken naturally.
• Taste and adjust seasoning at the end—bone broth is already seasoned, so go easy on salt.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

This bone broth gravy is incredibly versatile. For a mushroom gravy, sauté sliced mushrooms in the pan before adding the broth. For a herby version, stir in fresh rosemary or sage at the end. If you're serving a roast chicken, replace half the beef broth with Hill Farm Whole Chicken Broth for a lighter, poultry-forward gravy. The natural gelatin in both broths ensures a silky texture every time.

Pair this gravy with classic dishes like roasted potatoes, Yorkshire puddings (if not grain-free), or a hearty beef stew. It also makes an excellent base for pot pie filling or a sauce for meatballs. For a complete meal, serve it over Hill Farm 4 Beef Burgers (Gluten Free) for a comforting burger and gravy plate. The possibilities are endless.

• Try a 50/50 blend of beef and chicken broth for a balanced flavor.
• Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
• Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if too thick.

Making gravy from Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth is a simple way to add nourishing, real-food goodness to your meals. Whether you're a seasoned cook or new to from-scratch cooking, this recipe delivers rich flavor and nutritional benefits without any artificial ingredients. Next time you roast a chicken or beef, skip the packet mix and reach for a bottle of Hill Farm Beef Bone Broth instead—your taste buds and your body will thank you.
