dark gravy in a white gravy boat

Gravy

Simple and quick beef gravy

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • Pan Drippings
  • 1 - 1 1/2 Cups of Beef Stock (depending on pan drippings) I like to use Better Than Bouillon
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Cornstarch Start with one and add more if needed
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of Cold Water

Instructions

  1. Boil water and combine with bouillon. Use to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Try to get it all.
  2. Transfer bouillon and pan drippings to a small sauce pan.
  3. Combine cornstarch and cold water.
  4. Add to the gravy in the saucepan and cook over medium/high heat whisking until brought to a boil.

  5. Continue to boil for an additional minute. Repeat with additional cornstarch, mixed with cold water, a teaspoon at a time as need be to reach desired thickness (gravy will thicken slightly further off the heat).

  6. Remove from heat and pour into a gravy boat.

Recipe Notes

Gravy will continue to thicken as it cools off the heat.
