Beef Gravy

Wine match: Selaks Winemaker’s Favourite Syrah

By: Giles Wood 335 days ago

Remove meat from roasting dish and wrap in foil and kitchen towel to rest. Put roasting pan on stove top and heat fat and 'bits' (bits might include bits of vegetables that had been roasted with the meat). Sprinkle flour onto hot fat and stir. Flour should foam and brown. stir throughly to minimise lumping. Add stock (stock can be made from a couple of stock cubes and water from the boiled vegetables). Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes until the gravy has settled, thickened a little and has a good even shine. Add the wine and dark sauces and continue to simmer for 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then strain into pre-warm gravy boat and serve while still really hot.
