Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons venison drippings
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cups whole milk or cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Heat a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the venison drippings to the pan and let them warm up for 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the drippings and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a smooth roux. Allow the mixture to turn a golden-brown color, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and add the milk or cream. Stir well to incorporate and adjust the thickness of the gravy as needed by adding a splash more broth or milk.
Step 6
Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Step 7
Let the gravy simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 8
Remove the gravy from the heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
