Delicious beef gravy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I also have several of my own gravy recipes. First, I coat the meat in flour and fry it until a crust forms, then cook the vegetables separately. Once all the ingredients are ready, I combine everything in one dish and simmer. One of my secrets is using large pieces of meat. I like the meat to be really noticeable. The selection of vegetables is optional—you can easily replace any. Serve hot.
