How people cook with it
Beef gravy is a versatile sauce that enhances many dishes. It is commonly used to add moisture and flavor to roasted meats and mashed potatoes.
- Topping for mashed potatoes
- Sauce for pot roast
- Dipping sauce for fries
- Base for shepherd's pie
To prepare the gravy, you will typically combine the dry mix with a specified amount of cold water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Then, heat the gravy over medium heat, stirring constantly. The gravy will thicken as it heats. Continue to cook until it reaches your desired consistency. It is important to stir continuously to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan. Once thickened, it is ready to serve.
