Heat beef stock in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering.

In a separate pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add the simmering beef stock to the roux, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.

Place hot French fries on a serving plate.

Sprinkle cheese curds generously over the fries.

Pour hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds to melt the cheese slightly.

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
