Threadgill's brown gravy

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Fat from beef and margarine
cup Flour
4 cups Beef stock
Beef drippings
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Salt; to taste

Directions

Roux: Use fat from cooked roast beef. If insufficient or unavailable, use margarine to make ½ cup total. Cook flour and fat or margarine slowly in a heavy skillet, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Cook until medium brown.

Gravy: Add beef stock, drippings, and seasonings. Stir until gravy thickens to right consistency. Season to taste. Strain through a sieve to improve texture.

Makes 1 quart.

Deep-down brown and with a stour aroma, this may be the most soulful single item on the menu. At the restaurant we can make a stronger, deeper flavor than is likely at home because we have such a treasure of roast beef scraps left over from our trimmings.
