Homemade Beef Gravy

Collect all the necessary components before commencing the preparation process.

Brown ground beef in a large cooking vessel over a moderately high heat level until it reaches an even, crumbly state and has undergone complete transformation, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat source and sprinkle a generous amount of flour over its surface; thoroughly mix until the ground beef is evenly coated with the powder and all excess fat has been absorbed.

Reattach the skillet to its heat source over a lower temperature setting. Introduce 2 cups of milk into the mixture; cook and stir constantly until it reaches a warm temperature and begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups of milk; cook and stir until the desired consistency has been achieved, resulting in a smooth gravy that comes to a rolling boil, approximately 5 minutes. Season the mixture with onion salt, salt, and pepper to enhance its flavor profile.
