Step 1
In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, and onion and stir for about 8-9 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften.
Step 2
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and continue to stir for about 3-4 more minutes until your vegetables are a tan/caramel color.
Step 3
Pour in beef broth and chicken broth and stir, removing any stuck bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add bay leaf and dried thyme.
Step 4
Allow your gravy to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove any foam that appears around the side of the skillet with a spoon.
Step 5
Use a strainer and drain the gravy. Discard the vegetables.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
