Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the mixture and mix to form a paste, cooking for 1 minute.

Add 1 quart of beef broth and whisk together, then let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened.

Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste.

Assemble the poutine by placing cooked french fries on a plate, ladling gravy over the fries, and sprinkling with 5 ounces of cheese curds.
