Brown Gravy Mix Recipe Gluten Free, No Flour

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, so I use a lot of broth and gravy.  Pressure cookers need a lot of moisture to work, so you have to add water or broth.  I made my own chicken stock because I use it in so many recipes, but I don't generally make beef stock.
