Broth to gravy?

Seriously every time I try to make a stew I always mess up turning the broth into a gravy like substance.

Any tips?

My problem is turning it INTO gravy, not that it is gravy.

I have the opposite problem, mine is always too soupy. Here's a bump for you though.

 When the meat is cooked add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour and mix. If it needs thickening, mix flour(or cornstarch) with water and add and stir well.
