Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Beef drippings
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

After cooking a roast beef, carefully set aside 4 tablespoons of the beef drippings from the roasting pan.

Step 2

Place a medium-sized saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the beef drippings to the pan.

Step 3

Whisk in the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to create a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the roux is golden brown and smells nutty.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the 2 cups of beef stock while whisking to combine. This prevents lumps from forming and ensures a smooth consistency.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the gravy to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Once the gravy is ready, remove it from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot over roast beef, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
