Answers:
use pan drippings +
2 tbs flour mixed with 2 tbs water - wisk well
1 can beef broth if you have any or 1 cup red wine or 1 cup water
add flour mixture and broth or water to roasting pan juices
cook on high heat!. wisk all the bits up from the pan
season more with salt pepper garlic onion powderWww@FoodAQ@Com

Remove the roast from the pan!. Place pan on stove on medium high heat!. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp of the drippings in the pan!. Dissolve 2 Tbsp of corn starch in the minimum amount of water needed to make a thin paste - about 1/4 cup!. Pour into pan with drippings and use a wire whisk or spatula to blend into the drippings!. Stir with a wire whisk until the gravy begins to thicken!. As it thickens, slowly add water, stock, milk, or cream, or some combination to the pan!. Alternate stirring and adding liquid, maintaining the consistency you want, for several minutes!. You will probably add about 2 cups of liquid all together!. Taking into consideration the evaporation that is occurring while you are cooking, you will end up with about 2 cups of gravy!. Season with salt!.


you can use flower instead of cornstarch too!.!.!. but with the 2 tablespoons you mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour!. Stir with a wire whisk until the flour has thickened and the gravy is smooth!. Continue to cook slowly to brown the flour, and stir constantly!. Slowly add back some of the previously removed drippings (remove some of the fat beforehand if there is a lot of fat)!. In addition, add either water, milk, stock, or cream to the gravy, enough to make 2 cups!. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and herbs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The recipe for a basic white sauce is what is needed to make any type of gravy, creamy base for casseroles or even a garlic sauce for homemade pizza !!!!

See the site below!. Scroll to the bottom to see how to make the gravy!. Since you have the drippings, you don't need the flavoring or Kitchen Bouquet this time!. Just mix in some flavorful drippings a little at a time to the desired consistency and flavor!.
Enjoy!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Add water or a small amount of red wine to the pan after the roast has been thorough cooked,and heat up the pan,and deglaze it by adding the water or wine & small amount of flour, ,add black pepper and serve!.
You can also season with salt or whatever else you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't need to make a white sauce first and I like flour over cornstarch

Remove the roast from the pan and set on a serving dish or cutting board!.

Put the pan on a burner on low heat!. Sprinkle in a couple of tbsp of flour and let it start to bubble a little bit!. Sowloy add in some water, and condensed milk alternately!. Letting it thicken slightly between each addition!. Add more seasoning if needed!. Just add the same flavors that you had on the roast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to use milk rather than water, and I'm sorry I don't have a recipe!.

First, I use beef broth and 1 package of onion soup mix when making the roast!.

Then, after removing the roast, using the drippings, I cook over medium heat, adding milk and flour and stirring with a whisk until I'm happy with the consistency/colour/taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Take all of the drippings from the bottom of the pan!.!.!.!.add some water and with a spoon get all of the goodies off of the bottom of the pan!. Get some cornstarch in a small bowl and add the liquid by the spoonful to the cornstarch and stir it till there is no lumps!.!.!.then pour the cornstarch sauce back into the pan and stir to thicken!. Add salt and pepper!. Yummy!!! Kind of have to play with the proportions!. I would say add about a cup of water and have about 1/4 cup cornstarch in a bowl ready to use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

take the juice and put in a sauce pan & start to boil!. Then add a little starch to thickin it!. Add flavor if want!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
