Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons clarified butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
salt to taste
3 tablespoons merlot (such as Naked GrapeĀ® Unoaked Merlot), or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Return the saucepan to medium heat. Whisk beef stock into the roux. Bring to a simmer. Stir in parsley; add salt to taste. Stir in merlot 1 tablespoon at a time. Grind in black pepper to taste. Simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gravy turned out lumpy. I'll have to try again.

I'm not usually a fan of beef gravy, but this Merlot beef gravy changed my mind! The wine added a depth of flavor that I've never tasted in a gravy before. I'll definitely be making this again.

This Merlot beef gravy was an absolute hit at our dinner party! The rich, bold flavor of the wine complemented the beef perfectly, and the gravy was so smooth and velvety. It was the perfect addition to our steak and mashed potatoes.
