Ingredients
- Butter- salted or unsalted is fine, helps to thicken the gravy.
- Flour- all purpose flour is great, helps to create the roux to thicken the gravy.
- Chicken broth (or pan drippings from making pork chops or a pork loin)- the base liquid in the gravy.
- Salt and pepper- to taste, use less salt if using salted butter.
How to make pork gravy
Step 1: Make the roux. In a small saucepan, combine the butter and flour. Heat over medium until a thick paste forms.
Step 2: Add the liquid. Add the chicken broth and salt and pepper to the roux. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until it is thickened.
Step 3: Serve and enjoy! Serve the thick and flavorful pork gravy with pork chops or tenderloin.
My tips to make the best pork gravy
- Always use room temperature butter when making a roux. If you use cold or frozen butter, it will not incorporate into the flour.
- Once you've added the chicken broth, stir continuously until it's all combined. Then you can let it sit and thicken.
- If your gravy is a little watery, you can add a little more flour.
- If you don't have chicken broth, that's okay! Turkey broth will work well in this recipe, too.
How to store and reheat the pork gravy
Store it in the fridge: You can store any leftover pork gravy you end up with in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If you don't think you'll use it within a week, it's best to freeze it.
Store it in the freezer: You can transfer any leftover pork gravy to a freezer-safe airtight container or a freezer bag. You may also use a silicone ice cube tray to freeze cubes of gravy.
Reheating the gravy: You can reheat the gravy from thawed or frozen on the stove in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until your gravy is warmed through.
