Easy How to Make Homemade Gravy Silky Smooth Sunday Roast

Instructions:

1. Strain the pan drippings to remove any solids.
2. Melt the strained drippings (add butter if not enough fat) in the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a smooth paste (a roux) and turns a light golden brown.
3. Slowly whisk in the beef or chicken stock, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. This prevents lumps.
4. Add the Worcestershire sauce and thyme sprig (if using). Bring the gravy to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the thyme sprig (if using). Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with your roast dinner.
