Simple Brown Gravy Food

SIMPLE BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Boil all ingredients in a pot together, except for thickener.
• Once the mixture boils, mix the cold water + cornstarch / oil + flour into a slurry / paste in a small bowl. You may need to add a tiny bit more water, but it should be the consistency of runny glue with cornstarch, and a paste with the flour.
• Slowly pour in thickener, while stirring. Continue boiling for 2-3 more minutes, still stirring. If you're using flour and oil, simmer at least 5 minutes to be sure the flour cooks. Remove from heat and let cool to thicken more.

Cook and whisk until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes more.

EASY BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour; cook and stir until mixture is golden-brown and smells like cooked pie crust, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in 1 cup of broth.
• Stir remaining broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard into the mixture in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

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.)

SIMPLE BROWN GRAVY RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Place broth, butter, Kitchen Bouquet, onion powder and paprika into a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Lower heat to a simmer. In a small bowl, stir together the water and cornstarch to form and very smooth paste, called a slurry. Dip about 2 tablespoons of the hot broth into the slurry and stir until pourable and smooth, then stir the slurry into the simmering broth. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture is of the consistency you like, about 3 more minutes. (The gravy will thicken slightly more off the heat). Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Kitchen Bouquet or Worcestershire sauce is added for color and deeper flavor, and can be omitted if desired. This recipe is appropriate for a chicken or vegetable gravy as well; simply substitute a good quality low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth for the beef.
