Beef Bone Gravy Recipes

BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine butter, beef broth, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat and bring to a simmer.
• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine cornstarch and water, stirring until well combined.
• While whisking the broth CONSTANTLY, slowly add cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. I like to pour in about a tablespoon at a time to gauge consistency. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture, add only until desired consistency is reached.
• Add beef bouillon (or Kosher salt-- I just like the depth of flavor the beef bouillon adds as compared to straight up salt) and pepper to taste.
• Allow to simmer 2-3 minutes. Serve over potatoes, rice, poutine, or your favorite beef dishes.

SLOW COOKER BEEF NECK BONES AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat slow cooker to High.
• Clean neck bones and remove any excess fat. Season bones with cumin, allspice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt; dust with 1/4 cup flour.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add seasoned neck bones; cook until bones begin to brown, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer neck bones and drippings to the preheated slow cooker; add beef broth and onion.
• Cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook 4 to 6 hours.
• Transfer neck bones to a dish. Sprinkle remaining flour into the slow cooker and stir well. Return neck bones to slow cooker. Let stand until gravy thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.

BEEF BROTH GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in your sauce pan, then add the flour. Whisk the flour for about 1 minute until the flour is "cooked".
• 2. Slowly add the beef broth and stir often for about 8-10 minutes. *Stirring is the key to lump less gravy.

BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the meat and fat into small dice, put them into a roasting pan (along with bones) and roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until browned.
• Trim all the vegetables, chop them fine, add them to the browned meat in the pan and continue roasting for a half hour to an hour longer, or until they are browned (but not blackened). Meanwhile, boil the stock down by half in a stockpot.
• Remove the roasting pan from the oven, set it over a top burner, add a quart of the stock to it and stir and scrape the pan to release all the browning. Empty the pan into the stockpot, rinse it with a little water to get out any remaining pieces, add the rinse water to the pot, and simmer, covered, for 3 hours.
• Strain the finished gravy into a container and refrigerate both it and the residual solids overnight. Remove the cake of fat from the gravy before reheating. Add to the gravy any meat juices (defatted) that the roast gives up. (The solids may be made into a spread by adding salt, dry mustard and finely diced celery.)

BEEF BONE GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a hot oven (450-500F) roast all the bones for 15-20 minutes until sizzling and nicely browned. Place the browned bones and the fresh piece of shin in your largest stock pot and cover by at least half an inch with cold water or beef broth. Bring to boiling point, but never allow more than the most tremulous simmer. Patches of dirty grey-brown bubbles (scum!) will appear on the surface. Skim these off with a spoon. When the only scum appearing is a clean white colour, you can stop skimming. Now add the vegetables, washed and cut up into chunky pieces, and the herbs. Bring back to your slow, tremulous simmer, and cook for 4-5 hours minimum, ideally 6 or 7. (Remove the shin after 3 hours if you want to eat it - delicious cold and dressed with a mustardy vinaigrette). Strain the stock into a clean pan or large basin. Discard the vegetables and bones (feed both to the dog if you like). Leave the stock in a fridge or cool place, ideally overnight, so the stock turns to jelly and the fat sets hard on the top. Carefully remove all the fat and discard. Warm up the stock over a gentle heat, so it liquifies completely, then strain it carefully through muslin or a cotton cloth. Transfer to a clean heavy-based pan of at least 4 litres capacity, add the wine, and boil hard to reduce. As it becomes darker and more concentrated, taste regularly. It will taste like it needs salt but don't be tempted to add it yet as it will get much too salty as it reduces. Stop when you have a rich, concentrated beefy sauce that is lightly syrupy but not too sticky. Only at this point should you season, to taste, with salt. You can keep this sauce, chilled as a jelly, in the fridge for up to a week. To serve it with the beef, gently warm it until not quite boiling, and 'refresh' with a few drops of new wine, before serving. You can also add the deglazed pan juices from the roasting tray, but make sure they are not too salty, and not too fatty, or they will spoil all your hard work.
