Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of milk as a base for your gravy. If you want to thicken the gravy more quickly, add a cornstarch slurry instead of flour. You can also substitute the beef with cooked sausage for a different twist, or even try using a plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk to restore its creamy consistency. Avoid microwaving, as it can cause the gravy to separate.
