Heat a saucepan over medium to high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the pan and melt them together.

Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula.

Cook the ground beef until it has just a slight touch of red, ensuring it's not greasy.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped white onion to the pan and cook until the onions are translucent and tender, about the same time it takes for the beef to cook through.

Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine, cooking for 2-3 minutes over low to medium heat to avoid burning the flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of beef bouillon to the mixture and stir well.

Pour in 1 cup of milk, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to incorporate any bits.

If desired, add 1 cup of heavy cream for extra creaminess and stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce, mixing everything together.

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to marry the flavors and thicken the gravy.

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
