HOMEMADE PAN GRAVY WITH DRIPPINGS

Steps:

• Place meat drippings in a measuring cup and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Skim 2 tablespoons fat off the top and place in roasting pan. Discard any remaining fat. If you don't have enough, add enough butter to equal 2 tablespoons total fat.
• Add enough broth to the liquid drippings to equal 1 cup.
• On the stovetop over medium heat, melt the fat and butter in the roasting pan, scraping up any brown bits left in the pan.
• Stir in the flour to form a roux (paste) and cook for 1 minute or until lightly brown.
• Slowly whisk in the liquid drippings mixture. Bring to a boil then cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the milk. Taste and add salt as needed. Gravy will thicken as it cools. If this happens, reheat and stir in a little bit of broth to thin it out if needed.

GRAVY WITHOUT MEAT DRIPPINGS

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, melt the butter.
• Cook the onion until lightly browned, roughly 5-8 minutes.
• Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in the stock and cook uncovered until thickened, roughly 5 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

THE BEST NO-DRIPPINGS GRAVY EVER!

Steps:

• 1. Peel and coarsely chop the onion into rings or chunks.
• 2. In a saucepan over medium to medium-low heat, add the stick of butter until melted then add the onion. Stirring occasionally, sauté the onion for 12-15 minutes until they are translucent and super soft.
• 3. Remove the onion from the pan, allow to cool slightly and puree in a food processor until smooth. There should be some butter left in the pan.
• 4. Meanwhile, add flour, a few tablespoons at a time, to the butter and whisk to form a roux or paste-like consistence. Add the onion puree and a bit more flour to keep the roux consistency. NOTE: You may not use the full cup of flour, the amount you use will vary.
• 5. Add about 1/4 cup of stock, then a bit more flour, again to keep the roux. Next you will add the remainder of the stock and bring to a slow boil, whisking frequently.
• 6. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to boil for another 10 minutes or so until the gravy has thickened. *If the gravy becomes too thick, you may whisk in a bit of water to thin it out. *If the gravy is not thick enough, take about 1 cup of gravy out of the pan, into a bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of flour, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps, then add back to the gravy to thicken.
