Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 oz/3 grams Plain flour
  • 1 pint/570 ml Stock
  • 2 tablespoon Liquid meat fat
  • Meat juices
  • 2 teaspoon Gravy browning, optional

Method
 

  • Start by carefully collecting all of the juices that have accumulated from the roasted meat. Place the meat juices in a glass container or jug and allow them to settle for a few minutes so that the fat rises to the top. Carefully remove the fat from the surface using a spoon. Or use a fat separtor if you have one.
  • Take the roasting pan used to cook the meat and place it on medium heat on the stove. Add the fat you have collected to the pan. Meanwhile, you should have the meat covered with foil, resting in a warm place.
  • Slowly sprinkle the flour and cook for a minute, stirring continuously.
  • Gradually pour in the meat juices, stirring constantly to create a smooth consistency. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any remaining meat juices.
  • Add the stock and bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to simmer for around 10 minutes to fully develop the flavours.
  • Season to taste, and if desired, add a small amount of gravy browning for added colour.
  • Pour into a gravy boat and enjoy your homemade gravy!
Chefs Tips
  • If you want to make the gravy browner, then you can add a splash of soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos while simmering.
  • Sometimes, I add herbs like thyme or bay leaves while the gravy is simmering to enhance its flavour.
  • To get the right consistency of gravy, I generally use 1 pint of stock to 1 tablespoon of flour. If you feel that the gravy is too thin, then simply allow it to bubble and reduce a bit but if you feel that the consistency is too thick, then simply add a little more stock to it.
