HOW TO MAKE BEEF GRAVY FROM DRIPPINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• For the prime rib: Use the tip of a knife to make slits in the fat of the prime rib and stuff with slices of garlic. In a small bowl, mix the salt and pepper. Create a crust of salt and pepper all over the meat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the prime rib on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast the meat for 10 minutes at this temperature, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Roast until the meat registers 120 degrees F on an internal meat thermometer for a medium-rare roast, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound). Remove the meat to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let stand 20 minutes. 
• For the gravy: In the meantime, pour off most of the fat from the roasting pan, leaving about 1/4 cup. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the fat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Vigorously whisk in the beef stock and mustard. Add the thyme, rosemary and garlic. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, whisking, until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the sherry vinegar and cook 1 more minute. Transfer to a serving dish. 
• Remove the ties from the prime rib. Slice the prime rib and bones and serve with the gravy.

Steps:

• First, take the giblets and neck from the raw turkey and cover them with water by 2 inches in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer it for 1 hour to both to cook the meat and to make a giblet broth for the gravy.  Remove the giblets and neck from the water (don’t worry; they’re supposed to look really grody) and set them aside. Keep the giblet broth in the saucepan for later. When you’re ready to make the gravy, pour all the drippings from the turkey roasting pan into a bowl. Set the pan back onto the stove. Let the drippings sit and separate naturally, then use a ladle to carefully separate the fat from the liquid drippings (the fat will be on top, while the drippings will settle at the bottom). Turn the heat to medium and add about 1 cup of the fat back into the roasting pan. Sprinkle the flour all over the fat and immediately begin whisking it around to make a paste. Add more flour or fat as needed to create the right consistency: You want the mixture to be a stirrable paste and not overly greasy. If it looks a little greasy, whisk in a little more flour. Once the paste/roux is the right consistency, whisk it slowly for a few minutes, allowing it to cook to a deep golden brown color. A nice brown roux is the secret to good gravy, baby! Once the roux is ready, pour in 1 cup of the drippings (the stuff that separated from the fat earlier) and the chicken or turkey broth, whisking constantly. Then just let the gravy cook and thicken, whisking constantly for 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, use your fingers to remove as much of the neck meat as you can and chop up the giblets into fine pieces. Add as much of the meat to the gravy as you’d like: Add it all if you like a really chunky giblet gravy, add a little less if you like the gravy more smooth. If the gravy seems too thick, add more broth and/or a little of the reserved giblet broth (the water used to cook the giblets.) Finally, season the gravy with a little bit of salt and plenty of black pepper! (Be sure to taste it and make sure the seasoning is perfect.) Serve the gravy piping hot at the table.
