Ingredients
  • meat juices
  • 2 tbsp liquid meat fat
  • 30g/1oz plain flour
  • 570ml/1 pint stock
  • 2 tsp gravy browning (optional)
Directions
  • Collect the juices and the fat from the meat you are roasting. Put the juices in a glass jug and allow to stand for a few minutes so that the fat will rise to the surface. Skim off the fat.
  • Put the roasting tin that you used to cook the meat on the hob on a medium heat and add the fat. (The meat needs to be resting
  • covered with foil
  • in a warm place at this point)
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the meat juices and gradually stir in the stock until you get a smooth gravy. Use a wooden spoon and stir all over the surface of the pan to incorporate any meat juices that are stuck to it.
  • Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Season to taste and add a little gravy browning if desired.
