How to Make Corned Beef Gravy

If you want to make a rich, savory gravy, consider using corned beef. Several corned beef gravy recipes call for substituting butter with bacon and corned beef drippings. To make gravy suited to your tastes, you essentially need to cook the gravy until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also add your own seasonings such as garlic powder and chopped onions.

Things You'll Need

• 2 tbsp. butter
• Skillet
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• Whisk
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup chopped corned beef
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Carefully add flour to the pan. Add a small amount of flour at a time using a whisk. Continue to whisk the butter and flour until the butter dissolves into the flour.

3. Combine the sugar with the flour mixture. Stir the ingredients until the sugar dissolves.

4. Place the milk into the mixture by adding ½ cup at a time. Use the whisk to make the mixture smooth, and allow the milk to become warm between each pour.

5. Add the corned beef to the gravy. Continue to cook the ingredients until the gravy reaches your preferred consistency. Add a small amount of water to thin the gravy.

6. Season the gravy with salt and pepper.

Tips & Warnings

• Replace the milk with broth to make gravy rich in flavor and thinner in texture.

• Stir the beef gravy constantly while it cooks to prevent burning and lumps from forming.

• Serve the gravy over biscuits or potatoes to enjoy its rich flavor.

• Keep the butter and flour ration 1 to 1. Increasing the amount of these ingredients will make thicker gravy.
