Ingredients
- 14.5 oz. can low sodium beef broth
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, stir together beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn down heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- While broth mixture is simmering, mix together cornstarch and cold water until cornstarch has completely dissolved.
- Add cornstarch mixture to broth mixture, and stir until well combined. Bring to a boil then reduce and simmer for another 5 minutes, until broth has thickened.

Notes
Make sure to combine cornstarch into very cold water and mix it until no powder is left, otherwise the gravy will get tiny white lumps.
