Steps:

• In a small bowl, create a slurry with the cornstarch and water by mixing them together thoroughly.
• Measure pan juices and place back into the Instant Pot.
• Select Sauté and bring the juices to a simmer.
• Whisk the cornstarch slurry in to the juices (it is a good idea stir the slurry just before adding to the juices as the cornstarch will have most likely settled). Stir constantly until the juices have thickened, approximately 3 - 5 minutes.

BEST INSTANT POT GRAVY

Steps:

• Press the Sauté function on the Instant Pot (Normal setting). Add 1 tablespoon of butter and onions and cook for 3 minutes to caramelise slightly.
• Then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add 1 cup of chicken stock (stock cube dissolved in hot water) and 1.5 cups of beef bone broth or stock. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring a few times. Cancel to stop the Saute function.
• Taste and add a good pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
• Use an immersion blender to purée the contents of the pot to make a smooth gravy. If you like your gravy super smooth, strain the pureed broth through a sieve to catch any unblended bits of onion. Return the strained gravy to the pot.
• To thicken the gravy further, mix 2 tablespoons of flour and 3-4 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Then, turn on the sauté function again. Pour in the flour slurry gradually in small batches while continuously stirring with a spatula, until the gravy thickens.
• Then stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Bring the gravy to a simmer and once the bubbles come up, press Cancel to stop the Sauté. Stir and pour into a serving bowl or a jug.
• Serve the gravy while hot! You can refrigerate the gravy for up to 5 days or freeze the leftover gravy in a silicone ice cube mold so you can pop out a cube whenever you feel like some gravy on your meal.

BEEF GRAVY RECIPE (WITHOUT DRIPPINGS)

Steps:

• MAKE ROUX (FLOUR AND OIL): Put 2 tablespoons oil (or butter, half butter/half oil or fat drippings) in small saucepan. Heat to medium heat. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until the roux starts to turn a very light brown. This will get rid of the raw flour taste. Don't let it get too dark or burn. (It should be a loose paste. If too dry, add a bit more oil). Note 3 for gluten free gravy.
• FINISH GRAVY: Add half of broth. Whisk until smooth. Add rest of broth and thyme. Whisk. Cook about 3 minutes until gravy has thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, more thyme). Note 4 for added flavorings.Gravy will thicken on standing or in fridge. To loosen, add a splash of water or broth.
