steak gravy recipe

Description
This rich steak gravy recipe features slow-roasted garlic and fresh rosemary, creating a deeply savory sauce perfect for weeknight dinners. Roasting the garlic first adds a mellow sweetness without bitterness, resulting in a restaurant-quality flavor in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic (approx. 6–8 cloves), unpeeled
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
- 30 g (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 30 g (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 500 ml (2 cups) beef stock
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) Dijon mustard
- 10 ml (2 teaspoons) tamari
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 15 g (1 tablespoon) cold unsalted butter
Instructions
- Roast Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the unpeeled garlic head with a drizzle of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the pulp from the skins and mash.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Create Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until nutty and light gold.
- Simmer Gravy Base: Gradually whisk in the beef stock until smooth. Stir in the mashed roasted garlic and chopped rosemary. Bring to a gentle simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the gravy from heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard and tamari, then whisk in the cold finishing butter until fully melted and incorporated. Season with black pepper and sea salt to taste before serving.
Notes
To create a glossy sheen and add richness, whisk in a tablespoon of cold butter off the heat (monte au beurre) just before serving. For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch.
