For an even richer flavor, use homemade beef bone broth. If you don't have reserved beef fat, you can use additional butter or olive oil. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference. The gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the onions, carrots, and celery on the prepared baking sheet. Place the rib bones on top. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepRoast until the bones are deep brown and the onions are blackened, about 1 hour. Use a spatula or tongs to transfer the bones and vegetables into a saucepan. Drain off and reserve any rendered fat from the baking sheet for the gravy. (Roasting time: 1 hour)
03
StepAdd the broth and water to the saucepan, and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the meat falls off the bone and is flavorless, about 4 hours. Skim any fat from the surface and reserve. (Simmering time: 4 hours)
04
StepStrain the broth and let cool to room temperature. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)
05
StepMelt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms until well browned. Add 2 tablespoons of rendered beef fat and stir until melted. Add the flour and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. (Sautéing time: 15 minutes)
06
StepWhisk in the broth, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the gravy has thickened to the desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes more. (Simmering time: 10-15 minutes)
07
StepAdjust salt to taste and season with freshly ground black pepper, cayenne, and balsamic vinegar. (Seasoning time: 5 minutes)
08
StepServe and enjoy this symphony of beefy flavor! (Serving time: 2 minutes)
