Country White Gravy My Grandmas Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the Evaporated Milk, water and 2 cups of the whole milk into a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat meat drippings/grease until hot, but not smoking. Slowly stir in the flour a small amount at at time until thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain - (use a large, long-handled stainless steel cooking SPOON to stir the mixture with). Cook over medium-heat for a few minutes, stirring as needed to keep from burning on bottom. The texture should be a medium-thin paste in thickness; add a bit more flour, or melted grease, if needed, until proper thickness is attained. Cook and stir a few minutes until the rue begins to turn a LIGHT tan color.
• Pour the cream mixture into the rue, and, using a large WHISK, quickly stir until all the ingredients are blended and no lumps remain. Stir in the salt and pepper.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often with the stainless steel SPOON, until desired thickness is reached. You may need to add the remaining 1 cup of whole milk it it gets too thick. (Rembember, the gravy will continue to thicken a slight bit as it cools.) Remove from heat; place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the gravy surface to keep a skin from forming if not serving immediately.
• Note: You may stir in some breakfast sausage, (I use Jimmy Dean Original), that has been cooked and crumbled if desired. Just add this at the very end right before you remove the pan from the heat.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.
• Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.
• Whisk milk into meat mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to whisk until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, bring gravy to a simmer, and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Continue to simmer gravy until flavors have blended and gravy is thick, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon green onion and a pinch of cayenne pepper for garnish.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in milk so that no lumps form, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. If the gravy becomes too thick, you may thin it with a little more milk.

Steps:

• After removing cooked meat from skillet or pan, add oil to drippings in skillet. Stir in flour, scraping up brown particles. Cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is light golden brown.
• Stir in milk. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is boiling and thickened. If gravy is too thick, stir in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Stir in salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and garlic salt.
• Dredge steak in 1/2 cup flour and dip into 1/2 cup milk.
• Return to flour and dredge again.
• Brown steaks in hot oil in large, heavy skillet.
• Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels: set aside.
• Pour off pan drippings, reserving 3 tbs.
• Add 1/4 cup flour to drippings; cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring constantly.
• Add 2 cups milk; cook stirring constantly.
• Stir in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
• Add steak to gravy; cover and reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Remove cover and cook an additional 5 minutes.
• Serves 8.

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 tbsp sea salt and 1/2 tbsp white vinegar with a cup of water in a bowl or pan large enough to hold your meat. Stir until salt is dissolved. Add the cubed steak, and add additional water to cover the meat. Let this rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours. This will flavor the meat and make it tender.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper; stir well. Remove the meat from the marinade, draining well. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture.
• Pour oil into a heavy skillet, to a depth of 1/2 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. Add the meat and fry a few pieces at a time, 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and drain well on paper towels. Keep warm.
• Drain the pan drippings until you only have 2 tbsp of oil in the skillet. Place the skillet over low heat. Add 2 tbsp flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Serve the meat with the gravy. Enjoy.
