Tips:

  • Use a flavorful base. The key to a great brown gravy is a flavorful base. This can be achieved by using a combination of beef, chicken, or vegetable stock, as well as herbs and spices. Some popular herbs and spices to use in brown gravy include thyme, sage, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • Brown your meat or vegetables. Browning your meat or vegetables before adding them to the gravy will help to develop their flavor. This can be done in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Deglaze the pan. After browning your meat or vegetables, deglaze the pan with a liquid such as wine, beer, or broth. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and add flavor to the gravy.
  • Thicken the gravy. Once the gravy has simmered for a while, you can thicken it by adding a roux or slurry. A roux is a mixture of equal parts flour and butter, while a slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water. Adding a roux or slurry will help to give the gravy a smooth and thick consistency.
  • Season to taste. Once the gravy has thickened, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Conclusion:

Brown gravy is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, such as roasted meats, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. By following these tips, you can make a delicious brown gravy that will enhance the flavor of your meal.
