How to Make Homemade Gravy

In a saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and the drippings from your cooked meat (approximately 1 cup). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of beef broth (or water) or chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red wine (optional), 1 tablespoon of beef jelly (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately over your favorite meat and vegetables.
