Pan Gravy with Sherry

Yields: Serves 8 to 10 (serving size: 1/2 cup)

Active time: 15 minutes

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup drippings from Peppercorn-Crusted Standing Rib Roast

  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 onion)

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 4 to 5 cups beef broth

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat pan drippings in a medium saucepan over medium. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions, stirring constantly; cook, stirring constantly, until flour is golden brown, about 2 minutes.

  2. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of the broth. Cook, stirring often, just until mixture comes to a boil and is smooth and thick, about 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add up to 1 cup broth, 1/4 cup at a time, until mixture reaches desired consistency. Stir in sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper. Serve with roast and vegetables.
