Poutine With Dark Sausage Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Make the gravy: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and the sausage, breaking up the sausage with a spoon or fork, until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onions and the butter to the skillet. Saute until the onions are dark brown and caramelized. Add the flour, a little at a time, and cook, stirring constantly, to make a dark roux, 6 to 10 minutes. Don't let it burn, but it should be nice and dark. Slowly add the milk and beef stock, stirring vigorously to work it all together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked sausage to the gravy; stir well. Simmer for a minute or two, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. For the poutine: Fry the steak fries in vegetable oil until crispy. Serve the fries covered in sausage gravy and cheese curds. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese curds, if necessary.

Steps:

• Drizzle oil into a pan over high heat. Add beef chuck. Cook and stir until juices evaporate and the beef starts to brown and stick to the bottom of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Add butter and reduce heat to medium; stir until butter is melted.
• Add onions, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the beef. Cook until onions are softened and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Cook and stir until flour smells like cooked pie crust, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer over high heat. Bring heat back down to medium. Let simmer, uncovered, until gravy reaches your desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally. Season with salt.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lay fries out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 18 minutes.
• Fill a serving platter with fries. Scatter cheese curds on top. Ladle a portion of the beef gravy on top and garnish with chives.
