Need Help For Tonights Dinner Please-Gravy

[Roxy]

I got a beef roast in the oven for tonights dinner. I want to make a roux gravy for it instead of the recipe I have been using. Would anyone be so kind to tell me how to make it? Just thought I would try something different. Thx for any help

In a separate saucepan I melt perhaps 3 Tbsp. butter and then whisk in probably an equal amount of flour. It will become a 'paste'. Cook, stirring, until the color darkens a bit. To this you add your pan drippings after skimming off excess fat and water until desired thickness. Season to taste. Sorry I can't give you exact measurements. That's the problem with those of us who have cooking 40 or more years.

Add Some Liquid, Stirring Until Bubbles, If Too Thick, Add A Little More Liquid, Stirring Until Bubbles, If Too Thick, Repeat Until Desired Consistancy! You Won't Know How Thick It Will Be Until It Boils

How did your gravy turn out?

[Roxy]

The gravy turned out wonderful..and the roast was the best roast I have ever made. I will go post the recipe in tried and true now. Thx for all the help I got

Good! I've never been able to master beef gravy. I always end up resorting to the packages of dry mix, doctored up.

I posted what I did in tried and true for the gravy AngID if you want to look at it
