Brown Gravy

Chef J. Bradford's Note:

This is a simple recipe for basic brown gravy. It is only improved with the drippings from a roast. Great on mashed potatoes or on a hot roast beef sandwich

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/3 cup peanut oil
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

1. Heat oil on medium high in skillet.
2. When oil is hot, wisk in flour and continue to wisk until this roux gets to the color of peanut butter or a little darker. Be careful. Once it begins to brown it will darken until it is burned. If this happens, start over.
3. When roux is right darkness, remove from heat and pour in broth while wisking. It will blend and become smooth. Add beef dripping now if you have it.
4. Return to medium low heat and add the rest of the ingredients and stir until the flavors are blended.
5. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
