Classic German Roast Gravy

In this recipe, I will show you how to make a very quick and easy roast gravy. If you want to use this gravy without adding drippings I would strongly recommend to add cream to it and season it. You can use this recipe for any kind of traditional German meat dish, from Beef Rolls to Schnitzel.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 20 g butter
  • 20 g all-purpose flour
  • 10 g tomato puree
  • 150 ml red wine dry
  • 400 ml beef fond or high quality beef broth without salt
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 200 ml cream optional
  • additional seasonings rosemary, thyme, oregano, mustard, horseradish

Instructions

Prepare the brown roux

  1. Melt the butter in a medium pot. Turn the heat to medium and add the flour. Mix butter and flour together by using a whisk and cook until the mixture turns light brown. Don't forget to keep on stirring.

Cook the gravy

  1. Add tomato puree and cook for 1 minute. Add red wine very slowly and keep stirring the mixture.
  2. Add beef fond, and stir. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait until the mixture starts boiling.
  3. Turn the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for at least 20 minutes. At this point your gravy is ready for drippings or storage.
  4. If you are not using any drippings add cream and additional seasonings.

Notes

  • You can freeze the gravy for up to 3 months. I would suggest using an airtight bag for this so you can warm it up in a pot of water afterward.
