Easy Homemade Gravy Recipe
Everyone needs an easy recipe for homemade gravy! Just a few tips will set you up for success every time!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- fat and meat juices on the bottom of pan aka drippings
- 125ml/0.5 cup red or white wine see recipe notes
- 1 litre/4 cups stock chicken, turkey or beef
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the meat from the roasting pan and cover with foil. Put the roasting pan with the drippings on the stove top over two elements and turn them on medium. (If your roast was very fatty, spoon some fat off and discard. )
- Once the meat juices start to bubble, add the butter and let it melt, then sprinkle the flour all over and blend it in with a whisk until you see a smooth paste rather than lumps.
- Next pour in the wine and continue whisking, cook it down until slightly reduces for about 1 minute. Finally add the stock, whisk to combine and bring to a boil. Cook while stirring until the gravy reaches desired consistency. It should take 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper. Strain the gravy through a sieve for a smooth texture. Serve hot with your choice of meat.
Notes
- If you make a gravy for a beef or pork roast, red wine might be more suitable.
- For turkey or chicken gravy you might want to use white wine.
- You can also use Marsala wine, Sherry or Port for a deeper and slightly sweet taste.
- You might need to add salt or leave it as is depending on the stock used. Always taste your gravy at the end to determine if more seasoning is needed.
