Best Golden Gravy Recipes

SLOW COOKER BRISKET WITH GOLDEN ALE GRAVY & HORSERADISH MASH

Steps:

• Season the brisket all over with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan (or use the sear function on your slow cooker) and sear the meat all over until browned. Transfer to a plate. Add another drizzle of oil, if needed, and fry the onions with a pinch of salt until lightly golden, about 12 mins. Sprinkle over the flour, stir until well-mixed, then pour in the ale and scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up any browned bits. Tip everything into the slow cooker (if using a frying pan).
• Add the yeast or beef extract, sugar and vinegar, then the beef and herbs. Top up with stock until the brisket is just over half submerged. Cover and cook for 7-8 hrs on low until tender. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. Use the reduce or simmer function on your slow cooker and simmer for 10-15 mins until the gravy has thickened to your liking. If your slow cooker doesn't have a simmer function, pour the gravy into a pan and simmer on the hob until thickened. Add a pinch more salt, sugar or a dash more vinegar if needed. If you like your gravy to be extra-thick, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water, then add to the pan and bubble for a few minutes.
• Just before you remove the meat from the slow cooker, start on the mash. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 20 mins until very tender when pressed. Drain and steam-dry for a few minutes before mashing with the horseradish, butter and crème fraîche. Scatter with parsley to serve. Cut the brisket into wedges and serve with the gravy and mash.

BEEF ROAST WITH GOLDEN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Rub roast with oil.
• Mash garlic with salt and pepper and rub over roast and insert garlic in roast by making slits.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven, place roast in and brown on all sides.
• After browning, place roast in the middle of a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Pour soup over roast, sprinkle the onion soup mix over this.
• Seal the foil securely and place entire package into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake at 350°F for three hours.
• When you open the foil, the gravy is done and the meat is very tender.

GOLDEN FRIED CUBED PORK AND SAWMILL GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Dredge cubed pork pieces in flour and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine egg and milk. Dip pork in milk and egg mixture and coat with remaining flour. You may use a little more flour, if necessary.
• 2. Heat oil in large skillet (I use a cast iron skillet). When hot, add a couple of pork pieces at a time and fry to golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and fry for about 3 more minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. (Note that cooking time may be slightly longer, depending on the thickness of the cubed pork).
• 3. Prepare Gravy and serve over cubed pork.
• 4. SAWMILL GRAVY: Heat bacon grease in skillet (I use a cast iron skillet) and then add flour, sugar, salt and pepper, cooking until lightly browned.
• 5. Add milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly using metal spatula or whisk (I prefer spatula). Reduce heat and continue stirring until desired consistancy.
• 6. If gravy seems too thick, you may add a little more milk until the consistancy is right. If gravy seems too thin, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of flour in a glass measuring cup and whisk in just enough milk to make a pourable paste. Add mixture to gravy and return to heat, stirring until thickened.

GOLDEN GRAVY

Steps:

• Stir the nutritional year and flour in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to turn brown.
• Add the garlic, thyme and sage for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Whisk in the flour mixture thoroughly and then whisk in the water, tamari, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently and continue to simmer until the racy is thick and creamy. You can strain the gravy if you like or toss it in the blender for a minute or so, to get it smooth. (However, it tastes great even without straining!).
• The gravy will keep for 2 - 3 days, covered and refrigerated.

GOLDEN-BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour off fat from the turkey roasting pan, reserving 3 tablespoons. Place pan over 2 burners. Scrape any black bits from bottom; discard. Add wine; bring to a boil, and cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until it bubbles. Pour into a liquid measuring cup.
• Put reserved fat and the flour into a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking until mixture becomes a paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Whisk in reserved liquid in a steady stream. Whisk in stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Strain into a warmed gravy boat, and serve.

GOLDEN GRAVY

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute the onion in the olive oil until it is brown. Add the butter and lower the heat. As the butter melts, add the flour, stirring constantly to keep it from burning. After the flour browns, add the stock and stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
