Heat the meat juices in the roasting tin (ensure your roasting tin can take direct heat).

Step 2

Sprinkle on the crumbled stock cubes (or add the liquid stock).

Step 3

Stir together whilst pouring in the hot vegetable water. Bring to the boil and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Stir in a the cornstarch slurry using a whisk, until the gravy thickens.

Step 5

Allow to bubble. Add any meat juices from the rested meat. Check for seasoning and add a little more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

If you want the gravy to be a darker brown, stir in the gravy browning.
