Beef Gravy without Drippings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs minced onion or shallots or scallions
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 3 Tbs flour
  • 1/4 cup red wine or dry vermouth I used the vermouth
  • 1 1/2 cups beef or chicken broth depending on what kind of fake gravy you want!
  • leftover drippings if you have some or another tablespoon of butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Saute the onion in the butter 5 minutes or so, until soft and translucent. Stir in the flour and cook a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add the vermouth or wine and 1/4 cup or so of the broth, stirring until smooth. A whisk works well for this.
  • Add the rest of the broth gradually, stirring so it mixes in. Heat another five minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in leftover pan drippings or another tablespoon of butter if you don't have any. Taste and season.
