Dried Beef Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Remove roast from pan and pour off any fat. Place over high heat (use 2 burners if necessary) and deglaze pan with wine and broth, scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Once these solids are dissolved, pour liquid into a saucepan and add the bay leaf and peppercorns. Reduce for 5 minutes over high heat or until reduced by 1/3.
• At this point you basically have a jus which could be used to sauce your roast. To create a gravy, reduce the heat to medium and whisk in 2 tablespoons of white roux. Return to a simmer, whisking constantly. Continuing to cook once a simmer has been reached will result in a smoother sauce, but not a thicker one.
• Since all starch thickened sauces thicken as they cool, it's a good idea to make your gravy a little on the loose side.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the butter until foamy. Add the dried beef and fry until edges are browned. Sprinkle with flour, stirring to coat beef with flour. Cook until flour is just starting to color, then slowly add milk, stirring to smooth any flour bits and thicken sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until there is no longer any taste of flour. Meanwhile, toast the bread. Place the toast or warm biscuits on plates and spoon gravy on top. Serve.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour all at once to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until thickened. Bring to a boil, stir in beef and cayenne, heat through and serve over toast.

• Remove from oven and scrape the sauce from the sides of the casserole and mix it with the unbrowned sauce, spreading some sauce over the chicken.
• Return casserole to the oven and cook an additional 60-90 minutes, until sauce around chicken has browned slightly and is consistency of gravy.
• Serve chicken and gravy over cooked rice or pasta.
• To garnish, microwave peas 30 seconds; sprinkle over the chicken and rice/or pasta.
• NOTE: If sauce thickens too much before chicken has cooked at least 2-1/2 hours, add 1/4 cup water.
