Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:
- ¼ cup drippings
- 1 ¾ cup beef broth

How To Make Lamb Gravy Recipe?
- Heat the drippings: Pour the lamb drippings into a saucepan, scraping up all the brown bits from the pan for extra flavor.
- Whisk in the ingredients: Add beef broth, salt, pepper, and cornstarch, whisking until smooth with no lumps.
- Cook the gravy: Bring it to a boil, then remove from heat and whisk again. If it’s too thick, add more broth to reach the right consistency.
- Serve warm: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve while hot.

Recipe Tips:
- Use fresh drippings for the best flavor: The browned bits in the roasting pan add a deep, rich taste to your gravy, so don’t skip them!
- Whisk constantly to avoid lumps: Stir well while adding cornstarch to keep the gravy smooth and creamy.
- Adjust thickness with broth: If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth until it reaches the right consistency.
- Season at the end: Taste the gravy after cooking and add salt or pepper if needed, as the drippings already have seasoning.
- Strain for extra smooth gravy: If you want a silky texture, pour the gravy through a fine mesh strainer before serving.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the lamb gravy cool first. Then, put it in a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Once cooled, pour the gravy into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Pour the gravy into a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and heated through. If it’s too thick, add a little broth or water while stirring.
