Notes
Tips for Making the Best Beef Gravy Recipe
- Keep Whisking: Especially when you're adding the flour. This ensures a lump-free, velvety brown gravy that's smooth as silk.
- Taste as You Go: Don't wait until the end to check for seasoning. Every now and then give it a taste, adjusting the salt or any other seasoning to make sure it's shaping up just right.
- Mind the Temperature: Keep that flame gentle, especially towards the end. A low, consistent heat ensures the gravy thickens up just right without the risk of burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Mix Up a Slurry: If your gravy came out watery, don't panic! Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold water, whisk it into the gravy, and watch as it thickens up.
