Notes
- Want extra dark brown gravy? Add 1 teaspoon of beef base to this recipe.
- Homemade gravy will keep well for up to 4 or 5 days in the fridge. Let it cool completely before transferring it to a container with a lid and placing it in the refrigerator.
- To reheat: Microwave the gravy in short 20-second bursts at 50% power. Stir between each burst, and serve once warmed throughout. Reheat on the stovetop in a small sauce pot over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Add a splash of water or stock to the gravy if it seems a bit thick when reheating.
