brown gravy

It may seem like a challenge, but good gravy that's also keto-friendly is achievable. Here's how to make it with xanthan gum and which keto Thanksgiving recipes to use it on.

Keto Gravy

butter

c. turkey pan drippings

beef broth

Worcestershire sauce

garlic powder

Kosher salt

black pepper

xanthan gum

I can’t rate the exact recipe since I only had 1/4 cup pan drippings and changed the broth to chicken as the drippings were from roasted chicken. I also added 1/8 tsp more of the xanthan per another review. It tasted very good! Even my picky adult daughter asked me to always make it this way. 
A tip for the XANTHAN GUM: Mix it with the Worcester, garlic, salt, pepper and add some of the hot drippings from the pan. (Use a glass measuring cup and just scoop the liquid)  Whisk immediately. Continue adding more hot liquid. It’ll become paste. When it’s no longer clumpy add to the pan and continue to whisk away.

This recipe was excellent! The only modification was I cut the recipe in half, used bacon drippings, and added a little garlic salt/parsley mix. Yummy! In the end, I did also add another shake of xanthem gum to get the thickness right. As a gravy lover, this recipe will be a staple.

Had turkey and keto gravy tonight and I am happy 😊  I thought I was running out of good ideas but I keep finding more substitutions and being satisfied with my keto meal's.

First time making low carb gravy. It was delicious over our turkey. I will definitely be making it again.

This gravy is excellent! I added 1/8 tsp more xanthan gum to thicken it a little which made the texture perfect! Taste was great with the pan drippings I had. Which had roasted garlic seasoning in it.

We stuck to our Keto lifestyle for Thanksgiving and I’m so glad to have found this recipe! We used it on our turkey and loaded mashed cauliflower and it was great. Will definitely make this again!

Garbage label. This is regular gravy. Gluten free maybe, but not Keto.

Homemade beef tips with mushroom gravy — as always with NO canned soups! My beef tips are ridiculously tender and easy to make in your slow cooker or instant pot. Serve beef tips over cauliflower mash, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice!

Ridiculously Tender Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy

chuck

all-purpose flour

onion, diced

baby Bella mushrooms,

½ teaspoon EACH: garlic powder AND sugar

EACH: onion powder, dried thyme, AND mushroom powder

bay leaf

pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced

cornstarch

SEAR: Season the beef with the flour, a big pinch of salt and pepper; mix well. Heat the butter in the instant pot on the sauté setting or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it melts sear the beef in batches to form a brown crust, remove to a plate, and continue searing the remaining beef. Add the onions and switch to a wooden spoon. Sauté them for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure no brown bits are left stuck on.

SLOW COOKER: Place 2 cups of beef stock...

SLOW COOKER: Place 2 cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker (except the corn starch) and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-7 hours. 35 minutes before the cooking time is up, combine ½ cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and the cornstarch in a small bowl, whisk until smooth. Add to the slow cooker and allow for the food to cook for the remaining 30 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. If you still find your gravy is thin, add more cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over rice/mashed potatoes/cauliflower mash, etc.

OR INSTANT POT:  Place 1 ½ cups of...

OR INSTANT POT:  Place 1 ½ cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the instant pot (except the cornstarch) and select the meat/stew setting. Cook on manual high pressure for 35 minutes. Once the stew is cooked allow natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes. This gives the meat a chance to really soak up all those flavors. Click the ‘sauté’ setting. Dissolve the cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons of water and add that to the instant pot once the liquid starts bubbling. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 1-2 minutes, stir to combine. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a couple more tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Pat down your chuck roast and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. If you're making the pot roast in the oven, you can do this directly in the dutch oven. Add the butter and a splash of oil. When the butter melts and starts to crackle, add the chuck roast to the skillet and sear on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. You want the meat to brown as this will make a more tender and flavorful roast. Remove to a plate.

SLOW COOKER: Add half the onions to the slow cooker, followed by all the garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, dried thyme, bay leaf, celery seeds, sugar, and the chuck roast. Top with the other half of the onions. Allow the roast to cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours. I let mine go for 8 and it was fall-apart tender.

SLOW COOKER FINISH: Remove the meat from the slow cooker. Cover, keep warm. Combine 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch and water in a small bowl or mason jar. Add to the slow cooker, stir and let cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. If the gravy is still thin, use the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water, let cook an additional 5 minutes.

OVEN: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 275ºF. Once you sauté the onions (step 2), add the chuck roast back in to the dutch oven along with the garlic, 2 cups of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, dried thyme, bay leaf, celery seeds, and sugar. The liquid should come half way up the chuck roast, if it doesn't add additional broth until half of the chuck roast is submerged. Stir to combine. Cover the dutch oven with a lid and let braise in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven, check for doneness and continue braising for an additional 1 to 1 ½ hours. Your roast it done when it easily pierces with a fork.

STOVE TOP FINISH: Remove the meat from the dutch oven. Cover, keep warm. Combine 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch and water in a small bowl or mason jar. Heat the dutch oven over the stove on medium-high heat until the liquid reaches a simmer. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot while stirring. Let the gravy regain a simmer. If the gravy is still thin, use the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water, let cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

Brown Beef Gravy Recipe

unsalted butter (or beef drippings)

unsalted (or low-sodium) beef broth

Add the butter or the meat drippings to a saucepan over medium heat. Immediately after the butter has melted, sprinkle with the flour and whisk to combine. Allow to cook and whisk constantly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Begin adding the beef broth a splash at a time (about a 1/4 cup), whisking well after each addition. Once the mixture begins to resemble a pudding-like texture, you may begin streaming the remaining broth in slowly, whisking all the while.

Once all of the broth has been incorporated, add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Easy brown gravy, ready in 10-15 minutes, makes mashed potatoes or rice even better with or without drippings. The smooth and intense flavors from beef broth and butter are must-haves for the holidays. So learn the secret to a velvety smooth and rich sauce in these two easy ways.

Easy Brown Gravy (In Two Ways)

onion, (minced)

garlic, (minced)

thyme, (minced)

beef

salt and black pepper, (to taste)

beef powder, bouillon,

unsalted butter

Melt the butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.

Then add onion, minced garlic, thyme, and sauté until onions wilts.

Gently whisk in the flour to the onion mixture to make a roux. Stir the roux for 2-3 minutes to remove any raw taste of the flour.

Gradually add about a ¼ or more of stock and continue whisking until the mixture is thick and somewhat smooth.

Then add the remaining stock, bring to a boil, reduce to low heat and continue cooking until it thickens.

Add bouillon powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for about a minute.

Adjust seasonings to taste.

You may adjust gravy thickness with about 1-2 tablespoons or more water.

Remember, gravy thickens as it cools down.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, turkey, or chicken.

Easy Brown Gravy (first way)

Pour beef broth into a medium saucepan, add onion, garlic, and beef powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low.

Make a slurry. In a small bowl, quickly whisk together water and cornstarch until completely smooth.

Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan and frequently stir until it thickens.

Season with salt and pepper. Add butter and mix. Adjust seasonings as needed to suit taste buds. If gravy is too thick, add about 1-2 tablespoons of water till you reach desired consistency. Be mindful of the fact that gravy thickens as it sits.

Super Easy Brown Gravy (second way)

This easy brown gravy is made with beef stock and thickened with roux made of flour and butter! No drippings required and ready in under 10 minutes!

Easy Brown Gravy (no drippings)

beef broth (or beef stock)

Tablespoons flour (see Note 1)

salt & pepper

bay leaf ((optional))

Make roux

Make roux: Add butter and flour to a large pot and stir continuously until a roux is formed, about 2 minutes .

Add beef broth

Add beef broth and spices: Slowly pour in half the beef broth while stirring vigorously with a whisk. This will help prevent lumps. Once smooth and lump free, add the rest of the beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf (if using).

Thicken

Thicken: Let the gravy boil until thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Tender meatballs are smothered in brown gravy with onions and served over creamy mashed potatoes. This is the ultimate comfort food that&#039;s make-ahead and freezer friendly!

Meatballs and Gravy

Tablespoons Olive Oil

½ lbs. Ground Beef (85% lean)

½ Yellow Onion (finely diced)

Breadcrumbs (Plain

Garlic (minced)

Tablespoon Ketchup

Yellow Mustard

Worcestershire Sauce

Salt

Pepper

Parsley

Yellow

Tablespoon Unsalted Butter

Chicken Broth

Beef Broth

Beef Bouillon Cube (or 1 tsp Better than Bouillon)

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Bouquet

water + 3 tablespoons Corn Starch

Pro Tip: Refrigerate the meatballs for 15 minutes after rolling them to help them stay together during cooking.

Set olive oil aside and gently mix remaining meatball ingredients in a large bowl until just combined, don’t overmix or the meat will become tough. Roll into 1+1/2 inch meatballs.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown 5-6 meatballs at a time for about 2 minutes on each side. (Leave extra room around each so that you can easily roll them over to cook on the reverse side.) Remove and set aside on a plate. Repeat for all meatballs.

Reduce heat to medium. Add any oil/drippings from the meatball plate back to the pan and melt a Tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and let them soften and even caramelize a bit, about 15 minutes. Stir often.

Brown the Meatballs

Add the chicken broth, beef broth, beef bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Use a silicone spatula to work any brown bits on the bottom of the pan into the sauce. If a darker color is desired, add 2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet browning and seasoning sauce.

Combine the cold water and corn starch in a small Tupperware with a lid. Shake to combine.

Bring gravy to a boil. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture until desired thickness is obtained. Decrease to medium low. Continue to whisk to ensure that it blends in smoothly.

Prepare the Gravy

Add the meatballs back to the skillet and heat for about 10 minutes to allow the meatballs to finish cooking through. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes.

Add the Meatballs

This brisket is cooked at low temperature for several hours in French Onion sauce and comes out so flavorful and tender.

French Onion Baked Beef Brisket

lbs beef brisket

lbs yellow onions

tbsp white granulated sugar

salt

dry white wine

beef stock

tomato sauce

tbsp white wine vinegar

tbsp smoked paprika

French Onion sauce

Slice all onions thinly and set it aside.

Preheat a large cooking pan oven medium heat. Melt butter and add onions, salt, and sugar. Mix very well until onions are evenly seasoned. Let onions cook until all softened, mixing from time to time.&nbsp;

Pour in white wine and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.&nbsp;

Mix beef stock, tomato sauce, white wine vinegar, pressed garlic, thyme, salt, and paprika in a mixing bowl and pour it into the pan with onions.&nbsp;

Stir carefully and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Take off heat.&nbsp;

French Onion Sauce:

Preheat the oven to 300°.

Use two long sheets of aluminum foil to place them in the bottom of a roasting pan side by side but overlapping. Make sure the roasting pan fits the brisket nicely, not too bit and not too small.

Spread 1/3 of the sauce and onion in the bottom of the pan, on the foil. Place brisket on top of the onions, fat cap up.&nbsp;

Spread remaining French Onion sauce over the brisket and close the foil around the brisket to create a pocket. If the brisket is large, you may need to cover with another sheet of foil on top and tuck it under.

Place in the oven and cook for about 6 hours.&nbsp;

Open the foil and cook for another 45-60 minutes uncovered.&nbsp;

Take the roasting pan out of the oven and take the brisket out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Loosely tent with a sheet of foil and let the brisket rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.&nbsp;

Use a sharp knife to slice across the grain when ready.

Brisket:

Pour all onions and sauce out of the roasting pan and into a sauce pot.&nbsp;

Mix cornstarch with some cold beef stock and stir it into the sauce.&nbsp;

Bring the sauce to simmer over medium heat and cook it until thickened, stirring often.&nbsp;

Take it off heat and spoon it over sliced brisket and potatoes when serving.
