Discussion Thread -> "For The Love of Gravy!" Throwdown (Entries and Quality ON TOPIC *CLEAN* Discussion Only)

This is going to really fun. So many possibilities I'm in.

Absolutely! :thumb: My intent was not to create a gravity dripping contest, the rules states it must be made from the "drippings" sausage gravy made from the remnants of drippings in the pan is a good example.

Good luck everyone!

Come on, a guys gotta eat! Campfire gravy, the way it was meant to be.

Well since I was doing pork butts today I figured why not make a gravy from the pan juices while wrapping the butts.
So here is my entry for this TD



The preparation for this is at the end of THIS thread

Hmmmm... now what to do with that 3 litre's of Demi Glace I made last week......

Bring it I just started mine TODAY! Yippe.

My entry...

I wasn't going to enter this TD, because I was grossed out by the pr0n in the description post, but it occurred to me that I have not made chicken fried steak in quite a while, and that requires gravy. So, I decided to make some CFS, mashed potatoes, and fried okra -- three foods that go well with copious amounts of white gravy.

So, here we go. I made the gravy first. A good CFS gravy must start with butter. Half a stick of butter.



Then you need an equal amount of flour, and some serious stirring.



Then you need milk, salt and fresh ground black pepper.



It starts off watery, but once it hits a boil, it thickens up just right.

Next, I made some garlic mashed potatoes, from scratch, of course.



I took some top sirloin, and beat the crap out of it. I like to make my CFS with better than average steak.



I know this is a gravy throwdown, but I did some experimenting. I used the kettle fried chicken process to make some kettle fried steak.



I deep fried some breaded okra to sop up some more of that gravy, and when it was all plated up, it was a cardiologist's worse nightmare, but I sure did enjoy it. I hope I am still around tomorrow. Money shot.



The gravy was awesome. The rest was awesome, too, but this is a gravy throwdown. The kettle fried steak tasted great, but a lot of the crust fell off during the cook, so I probably won't do that again.

Nice Job CD, I hope you're around tomorrow as well. If not I will miss you, as will psycho Poodle.

The gravy had red wine, salt, pepper, carrot, celery, thyme, onion, veal stock, short ribs, butter, and garlic.

Use this as my entry shot...

These entries are much better than the gravy covered guy in the OP! :wink:

Official entry in the "For the Love of Gravy" TD

I doubled down with the Big Boar Country Ribs today and used the drippings and juices I could muster up to make some gravy with mushrooms, onions, and roasted garlic to top them off.

The gravy blended nicely with the Oakridge BBQ Santa Maria rub and tasted wonderfull

Thanks for lookin! :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1: SD

I will be the stick in the mud. Does CD's entry count? As it does not appear from his description of making the gravy first that he followed rule #1

1.) Gravy must be prepared from drippings of the main protein. Additional stocks may be added, but it cannot be the soul base of the gravy

The voters will decide the fate of each entry.

Did someone call for the bulls?

Uh oh. :doh:

I'm okay with whatever the mods decide.
