Add 2 teaspoons beef broth concentrate or bouillon cubes and 1 cup water to a glass measuring cup or microwave-safe container. Microwave until water is very hot, 1-2 minutes. Stir to dissolve.
Melt 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon onion powder powder and cook for 1-2 minutes. Very slowly whisk in the beef broth, adding it in small amounts at a time and whisking each addition in completely before adding more to prevent lumps. When all the broth has been added, bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Cover until ready to use.

Place 1 pound (454 grams) cooked French fries in a shallow bowl or large plate. Spread 8 ounces (225 grams) fresh cheese curds over the fries. Pour gravy over top the fries and curds. Serve immediately.
