Buttered fresh sweet corn blows some nasty peas out of the water next to some rice and gravy

Nothing like a good classic onion gravy. I've eaten it three nights this week and could eat it again if there was some left. My favorite meal is short ribs/rice and gravy and I can finally make it taste just like Granny's and mom's

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, old bay mixed in a ziploc with flour.
flour the meat (I like short ribs best) like fish.
heat enough vegetable oil in a dutch oven (I use a 30 year old magnalite) to coat the bottom and brown the meat right up to the point of burning but DO NOT burn it.
Remove meat and deglaze with 1/4 to 1/2 cup red wine and 1 finely chopped yellow onion until onion is close to clear and stir in 2 cloves chopped garlic. Return meat to pot and stir in enough beef stock to cover half the meat and then water to just cover the rest of the way. Cook on lowest setting for 3-4 hours or until meat is fork tender. Stir in corn starch slurry to desired thickness of gravy.
Serve over JASMINE rice

Sounds very good. What parish are you from? I ask because the VP buddies of mine wouldn't have floured the meat. I typically would for a "smothered" dish. I'm good with either style.

I think flouring the meat helps with just enough thickness in the gravy to not have to use corn starch. I like my gravy to cling to the rice, not sit on top but not just run straihht through it

Rice and gravy with field peas on the side. I started mixing the two when I was a teenager and was disappointed I never thought of it before.

My mom made meat and rice and gravy at least once a week growing up. So good. For the record, I eat it like the OP does. Pour gravy over rice and it should rest in a shallow pool. This isn't soup.

Understood. My bud would eventually hit his gravy with a bit of Wondra to thicken...many here squeal just melt the onions. Growing up across the river, we floured everything. I like it all.

Thanks for the location. It means a lot with a dish like this.
