Gravy Ingredients

Method

Gravy Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the beef drippings. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth, forming a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture is lightly browned.

  2. 2

    Add the Broth

    Gradually add the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the soy sauce, black pepper, and salt to taste. Continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot over mashed potatoes, meat, or use as a dipping sauce.
