Red-eye gravy gets its name from the gravy’s color. This gravy was originally made from the fat of ham steaks and most often used as an added component to the ham dish. In this recipe, I use ham stock cubes as a substitute for fat drippings.
Ingredients
- 4 ham stock cubes
- 2 ½ tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve ham stock and coffee granules in water in a large mixing bowl to create a stock.
Step 2
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add flour. Cook butter and flour, stirring constantly, until brown, to create a roux, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add stock mixture 1/2 cup at a time to the roux, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of gravy, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in black pepper. Remove from heat. Serve warm with meal of choice.
