About Roast gravy

Roast gravy is a savory sauce traditionally made by deglazing pan drippings from roasted meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken. Combined with flour or cornstarch as a thickener and enriched with stock, butter, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and herbs, it creates a rich, flavorful accompaniment to roast dinners. Originally popularized in European cuisines, especially British and French, roast gravy has become a staple in many comfort-food traditions worldwide. Nutritionally, it can be a good source of flavor without excessive added fats if made with minimal butter or oil, but its sodium content may be high depending on seasoning. Homemade versions allow for healthier customization by controlling salt, fat, and additives, while store-bought options may contain preservatives and extra sodium. Roast gravy enhances meals with indulgent taste but is best enjoyed in moderate portions as part of a balanced diet.
