  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your gravy will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat is an essential step that adds flavor and depth to the gravy. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the meat will not brown properly and the gravy will be watery. Cook the meat in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the gravy, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can use homemade stock or a store-bought stock.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Once the gravy is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
