We had some beef tenderloin leftover from our housewarming, but no sauce. "Gosh", i thought, "how can i make gravy without the meat drippings?"
Now i know the magic of Beef Bullions.
I decided to just copy what our cook would do, but then again i didn't take in enough detail when i would wtach her, cause well, how can u take note of a dish if i only watched for 30 seconds.
EASY BREEZY GRAVY
brown 1 cup flour until tan (takes about 20 mins) stirring constantly.
remove from heat
add 4 tablespoons salted butter.
drain 1 can button muchrooms and add the much room water to the butter flour mixture.
Disolve 2 beef bullions in 2 cups boiling water.
Add to flour, butter, mushroom water mixture.
return to flame and simmer. stirring ocassionaly.
chop mushrooms lenghtwise and add to the gravy.
I cooked the gravy just until slightly thickened. But you can continue to cook it until it reaches your desired thickness.
I tasted the gravy...yummy but it lacks something. Ah! Wine!..always saves the day.
Add 1/2 cup wine and you're ready to pour that delicious gravy on your steak, mashed potatoes and rice!
But if you have kids over, you can just split the recipe and add wine to only half the mixture and serve the rest to the kiddos.
