Do you need a great brown gravy recipe? If you want rich brown gravy that's tasty and easy, read on! This page will teach you how to make brown gravy to sauce your meat and potatoes.

While gravy can be made in the microwave or in a saucepan, the best way to get rich brown gravy is on the stove top, so you can work the brown bits in the roasting pan into the gravy. This will help give the gravy a deep brown color and a rich flavor.

These quantities will produce 4 cups of gravy. You can double or triple the recipe as needed.

• 4 tablespoons of pan drippings
• 4 tablespoons of flour
• 4 cups of Beef Stock

1. Take the meat out of the roasting pan
2. Pour the drippings from the pan into a bowl or measuring cup.
3. Measure out 4 tablespoons of fat from the drippings and return to the pan.
4. Skim the fat from the rest of the drippings, leaving the juices in the cup (or bowl).
5. Place the roasting pan on the stove top, and add the flour to the fat in the pan.
6. Heat over low heat for 2 minutes to cook the flour.
7. Add the liquid and whisk up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
9. Boil until gravy is thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
10. Stir in the reserved juices.
11. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Rich brown drippings are the foundation of rich brown gravy. You can help produce flavoring drippings by:

1. Starting the meat a high heat, then reducing the heat after 10-15 minutes.
2. Placing a few quartered onions in the pan with the meat.
3. If the meat is lean, ask the butcher for some fat trimmings and add those to the pan.
