Sauce and Gravy

How to make Sauce and Gravy Recipe - I love my meat with rich, flavorful sauces and gravy. I’m constantly surprised at how many people struggle with them. Here are two that are among my favorites.

SERVES 8

CREAMY PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canned green peppercorns, rinsed and drained
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup dry white wine

Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and gently bring to a boil, stirring regularly. Season with sea salt and pepper, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Optional: If serving this with roast beef, add the pan juices to flavor the sauce.

GLORIOUS GRAVY

Ingredients:
1/4 cup pan drippings, excess fat skimmed off
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup stock

Method:
Place the roasting pan with drippings over a low flame. Using a wire whisk, stir in the flour until a light brown paste forms. Gradually pour in the stock, whisking all the time, until you have a thickened gravy. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping any sticky bits from the sides of the pan (they contribute to a richly flavored gravy).
