How to Make Beer Gravy

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Add brown sugar halfway through cooking for enhanced caramelization.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the ale, followed by the stock and Marmite. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Keep warm until ready to serve over your bangers and mash.
