How To Make basic brown gravy
-
Step 1This is a recipe for some delicious homemade beef stock. https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynn-socko/beef-stock-and-shredded-beef/healthy-beef TIP FOR A DARKER GRAVY: While gravy is thickening, add a few drops of KITCHEN BOUQUET, this will give you a richer color without effecting the flavor, use sparingly. If using puree veggies, add to stock while heating.
-
Step 22 FOR CORNSTARCH THICKENER: Heat stock. Mix together 1 cup of COLD water or milk and 1/4 c. of cornstach, mix very well to remove all lumps. Add to hot stock and simmer on low for 5-10 min. If gravy is not thick enough repeat step. Add salt to taste.
-
Step 33 FOR BUTTER AND FLOUR THICKENER: Melt butter in skillet or med. saucepan. Add flour, mix well and cook over very low heat for a few minutes to cook out the flour taste. Pour warm beef stock into pan and stir well with whisk. Simmer till gravy is thickened. Add salt to taste.
