Step-by-Step Instructions for Onion Gravy

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until foamy.
Sauté the sliced onions, stirring frequently, for 15–20 minutes until caramelized.
Add the flour and stir for 2-3 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
Whisk in the broth gradually, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened to desired consistency.
Stir in thyme if using, and let it infuse for another minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm.
