Making a gravy for poboys out of roast beef drippings
Posted on 3/31/17 at 9:02 am

My wife is the manager of a grocery store that brines and roasts all of their deli meats. I had her bring me home a container of all the drippings from the roast beef they make. Should I just reduce it a bit and thicken with a cornstarch slurry?

Yup.
You might not even need the cornstarch depending on how thick it is after reduction.

Why not make a roux?
I don't like cornstarch in gravy. Gives it this oily shine.

I thought of that as well. I just do not want to much of a flour taste. Not even sure if I will reduce it. I have not tasted it yet so Im not sure of the salt content.

Poor ole Mouton. The most gravy challenged fellow in the US.

Ha ha. I would put my basic steak/pork chop gravy for rice and gravy up against anyone's . I've just never made a gravy from the drippings off of deli roast beef.

The way to make a Cajun gravy is to cook that shite down until it all sticks to the pan, pour out any grease at that point...then reconstitute with water. No starch or flour.
ETA: that'll probably come out too thin for your traditional RB poboy gravy, but you could make a fine au jus to dip into.

Yet you cant make a gravy from the drippings from olive garden. Smh

Olive Garden?
And yes I can make a gravy from the drippings I have. They really just need to be thickened up. I just like to bounce ideas off of people here because we have some really good cooks here. Why did you feel the need to comment?

This is similar to how I do it, but I don't let it stick. I stir continuously and when it starts to stick, add an ice cube at a time. The ice cube deglazes the pan and reduces the heat so the gravy will brown better than using just water. I finish by reducing the heat, adding a tbsp. of cornstarch to a little bit of water in a cup and mixing well, then bring up the heat to a boil which removes the taste of the cornstarch.

What kind of consistency does it have?
Posted on 3/31/17 at 11:17 am to mouton
If they brine the roasts before they cook it, I would not reduce it as the drippings will be salty and this would make it worse.

This is what I was thinking. I might even have to add a little unsalted beef broth to reduce to make it less salty. I haven't tasted it yet. I just opened the container and smelled it but it tasted very concentrated.
As far as consistency it is slightly thicker than a beef stock.

Maybe better to reduce way down for bullion use?
(freeze in an old ice-cube tray)

That's a great idea. I pretty much have and endless supply of the stuff.

Same with the carcassed remains of rotisserie chicken, I freeze up three or four and then go at it.
Posted on 3/31/17 at 1:04 pm to awestruck
Yeah I freeze all my chicken bones to make stocks.
