How to make brown gravy

  • Set your Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode, or if using a saucepan, place it over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.

  • Add half of the flour to the hot oil and whisk it vigorously to form a smooth paste, creating the base for the gravy (roux).

  • Continue whisking the roux until it turns a dark brown color. This will take about 20 minutes, and the aroma should be reminiscent of popcorn when it's done.

  • Add the coffee granules to the roux and mix well. Initially, they might clump a little, but keep whisking until they break down into tiny particles.

  • Add the beef bouillon cubes to the mixture and keep whisking. As they soften, crush them with the whisk to ensure they blend into the gravy.

  • Incorporate the remaining flour into the gravy while whisking. Tiny beads of flour may appear, but don't worry; they will dissolve as you add the beef broth.

  • Pour in the beef broth and whisk until everything is thoroughly blended, creating a smooth and flavorful gravy.

  • Continue whisking the gravy until it reaches the desired thickness. It should coat the back of a spoon nicely.

  • Add the salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

  • Enjoy your homemade Instant Pot beef gravy! Serve it with your favorite roasted meats, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, or any other dishes that call for a rich and savory sauce. This hearty gravy will elevate your meals and impress your family and guests. Happy cooking!

​Here are some tips to ensure your brown gravy turns out perfectly:

​

  • Whisk Vigorously: When making the roux, whisk the flour and oil (or fat) thoroughly to avoid lumps. A smooth roux will lead to a smooth gravy.

  • Patience with Browning: Take your time to brown the roux properly. The dark brown color adds depth of flavor to the gravy. Just be careful not to burn it; burnt roux can ruin the taste.

  • Low Heat for Browning: To prevent the roux from burning, use low to medium heat while browning. It might take a bit longer, but it's worth it for the rich flavor.

  • Prevent Clumps: When adding the coffee granules, sprinkle them evenly while constantly whisking to prevent clumping.

  • Crushing Bouillon Cubes: Crush the beef bouillon cubes as they soften to help them dissolve completely into the gravy.

  • Gradual Flour Addition: Adding the flour in two parts (half first, then the remaining) helps prevent lumps in the gravy.

  • Control Thickness: If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a little more broth to adjust the consistency. If it's too thin, continue simmering until it thickens to your liking.

  • Seasoning: Taste the gravy before adding salt and pepper. The bouillon cubes already have salt, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.

  • Straining (Optional): If you want a smoother texture, you can strain the gravy through a fine mesh strainer after it's done cooking to remove any small lumps.

  • Serving Suggestions: This gravy pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, or steamed vegetables. Experiment with different dishes to find your favorite combination.

  • Make Ahead: You can make the gravy ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Reheat it on the stovetop, adding a little water or broth to adjust the consistency if needed.

  • Freezing: If you have leftover gravy, you can freeze it in an airtight container for future use. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stovetop when needed.

  • With these tips, you'll be able to make a delicious and savory brown gravy that will impress everyone at your table. Enjoy!
