Instructions

Heat the bacon fat over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour. Cook until it turns a light yellow to golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the spices, Mexican oregano and beef broth. Whisk until smooth and it starts to thicken. Turn heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Thin with more beef stock or water if needed for a gravy-like consistency.
