Easiest Red Wine Gravy Recipe

red wine

🥗Healthier: low-sodium broth

💰Cheaper: grape juice

Grape juice provides sweetness without alcohol, while low-sodium broth maintains flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar texture.

beef stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: homemade broth

Vegetable stock can reduce calories while maintaining flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: cornstarch

💰Cheaper: potato starch

Cornstarch is gluten-free and can thicken sauces effectively.

Take the meat and any veg out of your roasting tray, cover and leave to rest.

Put the roasting tray onto your hob, tip in 1 tbsp plain flour and stir well to combine with the meat juices.

Pour in 250ml red wine, let bubble down until it has reduced by half, stirring all the time.

Now add 500ml beef stock, bring to the boil, and keep bubbling so the liquid reduces and thickens.

Strain into a jug or gravy boat to serve.
