OK when making gravy I usually buy a can of beef broth and make my own.
But I was in a rush today at the store and grabbed a can off beef
consime (sp sorry) Can anybody tell me the difference? Will it do the
same thing as the broth?

Just making some steak with fried mushrooms,peppers and onions with
mashed potatoes and peas. But I like taking the broth and add flour and
my own seasoning to it. So as long as it will work for that, then that's
great. Thank you.

consomme' will act like a broth however when it sits too long it tends
to gel-just like jello
