Pork Roast Gravy Recipe
This easy Pork Gravy is smooth, savory, and ready in minutes using simple pantry ingredients. Made with pork drippings or broth, it’s the perfect finishing touch for pork roasts, chops, and classic comfort-food sides.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons fat from pork roast or butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups pork drippings or chicken broth
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning optional
Instructions
- Pour pork drippings from the Dutch oven through a strainer into a bowl or fat separator.
- Measure out 4 tablespoons of fat (or use butter if needed). In a saucepan, melt the fat or butter over medium heat.
- Slow whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups of pork drippings or chicken broth (or combination). Stir continuously until smooth and thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning (if using), to taste.
- SALT TIP: When making this roast with drippings from my Pork Roast, the gravy usually does not require additional salt. So taste before adding. If prepping without drippings you may need to add salt to taste.
- Spoon the warm gravy over the top of sliced or shredded pork roast to serve. It’s also delicious over rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Save and strain the drippings! After roasting pork, strain the drippings to remove any browned bits. This gives you a smooth base while still keeping all that pork flavor.
- Measure your fat carefully. You’ll need about four tablespoons of fat to properly build the roux. If you’re short on drippings, butter works perfectly as a backup!
- Cook the roux until bubbly. Let the flour and fat cook together for 1 to 2 minutes. This removes the raw flour taste and creates a richer, more flavorful gravy!
