SIDE ESSENTIALS: EASY/PEASY BROWN GRAVY
The other day I posted a recipe for easy mash taters, and this is the gravy I poured over them... So yummy. This is an easy/peasy way to make a flavorful brown gravy. It all boils down to a simple base, and then a combination of just the right spices. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. You will need a medium-size saucepan to make this recipe.
- 3. The Beef Stock I use beef stock that I have made and then frozen; if you do not have any, there are options. Boxed beef stock Beef stock cubes Or, my favorite alternative... Better Than Bouillon Beef Stock. I will admit that it does have preservative things I do not like; however, it is the best alternative to homemade beef stock... In my opinion.
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of beef stock to a simmer.
- 6. While the stock is coming to a simmer, whisk together the additional 1/4 cup of stock with the 1/4 cup flour, to make a slurry
- 7. Slowly add slurry into saucepan, keep the base at a simmer, and whisk until it thickens, about 2 - 3 minutes.
- 8. THE FINISHING TOUCH
- 9. Now it is time for the spices. These are the spices, and the amounts I used; however, you can vary the amounts and add other spices to taste. • 1 1/2 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes • 1 teaspoon tamari sauce, or liquid aminos • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper • 1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika Season to taste, and whisk in the butter, if using.
- 10. PLATE/PRESENT
- 11. When I need some comfort, I ladle this over a big bowl of mash taters. Enjoy.
- 12. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
