Southern Beef and Gravy
Yield: 6 servings
2 cans roast beef
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups hot water
Heat oil in large frying pan on medium heat. Stir
in flour and stir constantly until brown. Remove from heat. Carefully and
slowly stir in the water. (Use caution as this will produce very hot steam.)
The mixture will be very watery. Stir thoroughly but don't worry about
lumps. Return to heat, add roast beef. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring
mixture to a boil stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until the
chunks of beef become tender and break apart and gravy becomes smooth and
thickened. If mixture is too dry add more hot water. If it's too
thin turn up heat and thicken before serving. Serve over hot biscuits.
A favorite at my house.
May be served over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
