re: Dark gravy from beef roast

Man, my granny used to make the best damn rice n gravy when I was a kid. I think she made some even just as a side when she knew I was eating over. When I was a little older, I asked her to show me how to make it. At this point I was probably 12 and my cooking prowess included hits such as grilled cheese, PBJ and doctored up instant grits. I was unfortunately far too young and inexperienced to pick up the nuances, but the gist was similar to what's been posted here. Try as I might I've never been able to quite reproduce it. This thread has both inspired me and given me a few ideas.

Bon appétit
