Instructions: Make a good, strong beef stock and reduce it by half. Thicken with browned flour and simmer until the cereal taste goes away. Season appropriately - for heavens sake use some herbs as well as salt and pepper. Basil, mace, bay leaf are all good. Use just like gravy

(heck, it
*is* gravy).

For a quicker gravy: pour off the meat juices (if you must have roast beef or something) into a separator - a pitcher whose spout comes from the very bottom. Boil quickly until reduced somewhat, and use flour that you have previously browned to thicken. Season as before.

Check the grocery store, as I have seen fat free gravy in jars.
