You could make homemade brown sauce as I used in this video or use packet of brown gravy mix and water as a quick alternative.
Ingredients
Brown Sauce;
4 cup beef stock
2 Tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons onion, minced
pinch salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons carrots, minced
2 Tablespoons celery, minced
2 Tablespoons tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons flour
Bouquet Garni
Instructions
In saucepan place beef stock and reduce by 50% over medium low heat.
In a large fry pan melt butter. Add onions, salt and pepper cooking until onions are soft. Add carrots and celery, cook 3 minutes. Add tomato sauce and cook 3 more minutes.
Add flour and cook rue until it is a light peanut butter color. Take care not to scorch, stirring rue constantly.
Add reduced stock to the vegetables. Continue to cook sauce and allow to reduce.
Strain sauce into saucepan and add Bouquet Garni. Let sauce simmer until it coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. The result is an unbelievable Brown Sauce.
