Its the onion gravy and browning that makes the meal.

ETA: And short or medium grain rice

Spoken like a true coonass. that step alone, prior to the braise will take hours to build.

I find a lot of people are scared to brown their meat well enough to get a real dark rich gravy. When I make rice and gravy the entire bottom of the pot is caked with gree me.

True authentic rice and gravy,


It looks wonderful, and I'd eat the shite out of it, but why is this any more authentic than a gravy that someone may have added roux to? Just cause you like a plow point gravy doesn't mean everyone favors it. I'm not a big fan of it. But like I said, this in no way affects the deliciousness of this dish.

Looks delicious.

Would it keep together better if you used less water?

We do this a lot and always enjoy it.

Looks really nice.

Did you save some for onion gravy and beef over toast as a leftover option?

Maybe, but we love the gravy and it was really rich in flavor. If I had turned it off a bit earlier it wouldn't have fallen apart. Not that it wasn't delicious though. Lol.......

Yeah, I grew up in S. Louisiana, and my maw-maw would make this every Sunday, no matter the season. It's just that as I've gotten older, I can't do heavier meals like this in the hot weather.

Do you not have AC up there? I eat gumbo all year round, as you know. I just don't do it outside.

I grew up in Southwest La and never knew anyone that used a roux in rice and gravy. I am curious about this. Did anyone here grow up using a roux for this?

That would be a stew in my book. Not rice n gravy.

I don't make a roux, but I flour the roast before I brown it. I think some of that flour that browns in the bottom of the pot with the fond adds a little body to my gravy.

Would the outcome be different using beef stock instead of water?

Gumbo is another dish that is only for fall winter for me in general.
