Tips & Notes:
- Beef bouillon cubes (or powder) are more flavorful than beef bouillon from the package. If you want to use beef broth, the ratio is 2 cups (500 ml) of beef broth, you don't have to add 2 1/4 cups of water from the recipe.
- The main purpose of adding Worcestershire sauce is to give the gravy a nice color and more appetite. If you don't have it, you can use soy sauce as a substitute.
- Use low heat so the butter doesn't burn easily.
