Brown Beef Gravy Food

BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Put beef fat or oil in the bottom of a medium saucepan and add mushrooms, garlic, celery, carrot, onion, oregano, salt and pepper. Saute until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes or so, then add Beef Stock and bring to a boil.
• In a separate pan, heat clarified butter on low to medium heat, then add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, about 15 minutes.
• Once your gravy boils, add the hot roux and stir constantly with a whisk until it reaches a nice gravy consistency. (You may add more or less roux depending on how thick you like your gravy.) Taste and add bouillon as desired.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roast beef bones on a sheet pan for 1 hour.
• Place bones and any liquid fat and caramelized fat stuck to the sheet pan in a stockpot.
• Add approximately 1 1/2 gallons of water and the mushrooms, bouillon, dried and fresh oregano, salt, pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaf, carrot, onion and parsley and cook on low heat until it comes to a simmer. Simmer for 36 hours, adding more water when necessary. (Water will be evaporating constantly. Let stock reduce down to 1/2 gallon on the final day. If it yields a little less, it's ok to add water so that your exact yield is 1/2 gallon.)

BROWN BEEF GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the butter or the meat drippings to a saucepan over medium heat. Immediately after the butter has melted, sprinkle with the flour and whisk to combine. Allow to cook and whisk constantly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Begin adding the beef broth a splash at a time (about a 1/4 cup), whisking well after each addition. Once the mixture begins to resemble a pudding-like texture, you may begin streaming the remaining broth in slowly, whisking all the while.
• Once all of the broth has been incorporated, add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.
• Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.
