Beef Gravy Recipe
Description
The Beef Gravy Recipe involves browning seasoned, cubed beef in olive oil to develop flavor and a caramelized surface. Diced onions and grated carrots are added to the pan and cooked until tender, contributing sweetness and depth to the sauce. Stirring in flour coats the ingredients and acts as a thickener once liquid is added. Water is poured in, and the mixture is gently simmered on low heat for at least one hour, allowing the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld into a hearty gravy. The slow simmer also thickens the liquid to a sauce-like consistency.
This gravy can be spooned over cooked pasta or any grain, providing a robust and savory meal accompaniment. The straightforward technique focuses on extracting rich flavor from basic ingredients through slow cooking and gentle thickening. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
