Traditional Gravy image

This is the way my grandmother - an excellent cook - taught me to make gravy. I remember having to stand on a box in front of the stove to allow me to reach to stir! This has to be the best way to make gravy!

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

pan juices, from the meat
2 tablespoons fat, from the meat
1 ounce plain flour
1 pint stock, ideally from vegetables cooking alongside

Steps:

  • Collect the juices and the fat from the meat you are roasting.
  • Put the juices in a glass jug and allow to stand for a few minutes so that the fat will rise to the surface. Skim off the fat.
  • Put the roasting tin that you used to cook the meat on the hob on a medium heat and add the fat. (The meat needs to be resting, covered with foil, in a warm place at this point).
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the meat juices and gradually stir in the stock until you get a smooth gravy. You can add some white or red wine at this point for more flavor. Use a wooden spoon and stir all over the surface of the pan to incorporate any meat juices that are stuck to it.
  • Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
