Basic Gravy Recipe

  • by
The other day, I did a chicken on the rotisserie, which is a great way to cook a healthy meal as all the fat drips right off and away from the meat, drippings which make for an excellent gravy that’s quick and easy to make. Mashed potatoes go great with barbecue chicken, so I decided to whip up some quick gravy with what I had in the cupboard.  You can sub-out the chicken drippings for beef or pork to make fresh gravy any time and you can see how easy it is to make once you know the basics. Use this recipe to help you make gravy for the first time.

Teriyaki Beef

Teriyaki is actually a combination of 2 words, “Tari” for the shine that is left from the sugar content of the sauce and “Yaki” for cooking by grilling or broiling.  You can find any number of teriyaki sauces at the grocery store or market, but it basically all breaks down to Soy Sauce, Sugar , Garlic and Ginger.  It gives a sweet, salty, spicy and savory edge to any type of protein whether it’s Red Meat, Poultry or Fish.

Carne / Pollo Asada Marinade

Since moving to the Southwest, I’ve been addicted to Carne Asada, which is just a think flank steak that’s been marinated for a day or 2 in fresh citrus juice and spices.  It’s such a flavorful meat and the citrus gives it a great flavor that you don’t normally get with the regular oil and vinegar type of marinades.  This marinade will work great with Steak or Chicken, or even thick cut vegetables for the grill. Try it for your next barbecue.

Sweet Chilli Meatballs

These are great snacks for the game, or any potlucks/cookouts that you may be going to.  It’s basically a “Set It and Forget It” style of meal.  The ingredients are cheap and these little bad boys are always the first thing to go whenever I make them. Give ’em a try for yourself and you’ll be hooked on the simplicity and the flavor!
