GRAVY FROM ROAST DRIPPINGS
Steps:
- Remove roast from pan and pour off any fat. Place over high heat (use 2 burners if necessary) and deglaze pan with wine and broth, scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Once these solids are dissolved, pour liquid into a saucepan and add the bay leaf and peppercorns. Reduce for 5 minutes over high heat or until reduced by 1/3.
- At this point you basically have a jus which could be used to sauce your roast. To create a gravy, reduce the heat to medium and whisk in 2 tablespoons of white roux. Return to a simmer, whisking constantly. Continuing to cook once a simmer has been reached will result in a smoother sauce, but not a thicker one.
- Since all starch thickened sauces thicken as they cool, it's a good idea to make your gravy a little on the loose side.

Gradually stir in milk, whisking with a fork to scrape up all of the meaty bits from the pan, then gradually whisk in the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Making Brown Gravy from a Roasting Bag:
- Use a roasting bag made from high-quality materials. A good roasting bag will be able to withstand the high temperatures of the oven and will not leak or tear.
- Season the meat generously before cooking. This will help to flavor the gravy.
- Roast the meat at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a flavorful brown crust on the meat, which will add flavor to the gravy.
- Add vegetables to the roasting bag along with the meat. Vegetables will help to add flavor and nutrients to the gravy.
- Deglaze the roasting bag with a liquid after cooking. This will help to dissolve the browned bits on the bottom of the bag and create a flavorful base for the gravy.
- Strain the gravy before serving. This will remove any solids, such as pieces of meat or vegetables, from the gravy.
