Variations

  1. Herb-Infused Gravy: Add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, sage, or thyme to any gravy recipe for extra flavor. For example, a pinch of rosemary in beef gravy or sage in sausage gravy enhances the taste.

  1. Spicy Kick: For those who enjoy heat, incorporate a dash of cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or a spoonful of hot sauce. This works especially well in sausage or mushroom gravy.

  1. Dairy-Free or Vegan Options: Substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter, and use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) or vegetable broth instead of dairy. Cornstarch or arrowroot powder can replace flour for thickening.

Tips

  1. Whisk Constantly: To avoid lumps, whisk continuously while adding liquid to the flour or cornstarch mixture. A smooth gravy comes from consistent stirring.

  1. Adjust Consistency: If the gravy is too thick, add more liquid (milk, broth, or water) a little at a time. If it’s too thin, simmer longer or mix a small amount of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in.

  1. Taste as You Go: Seasonings can vary based on ingredients. Always taste the gravy before serving and adjust salt, pepper, or other spices accordingly.

How to Store

  1. Refrigeration: Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of liquid to restore consistency.

  1. Freezing: Gravy can be frozen for up to 3 months. Pour cooled gravy into freezer-safe bags or containers, leaving room for expansion. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

  1. Preventing Separation: When reheating, whisk well to recombine ingredients. If using frozen gravy, a quick blend with an immersion blender can help smooth out any texture changes.
