This is my mam's recipe for a basic gravy that can be made from the roasting juices of just about any type of meat. I've made a few tweaks over the decades and the basic recipe is one that my wife (not from a gravy culture) now loves.

Ingredients:

8-10 tbsp pan juices from roasting meat
6 tbsp plain flour
4 tbsp soy sauce (or 1 tbsp gravy browning)
4 tbsp red wine
200ml water (or meat stock)
salt and freshly-ground black peppe to taste

Method:

Place a pan over medium heat. Add the roasting pan juices and when bubbling scatter over and whisk in the pan juices. Work until you have a smooth paste and cook for 60 seconds.

Whilst still whisking add in the cold water (or meat stock), beating the mixture until smooth. Bring to a simmer then add the red wine and soy sauce (or gravy browning). At this point I like to add 2 tsp hot chilli sauce (but that's optional).

Continue simmering until thickened to your liking. Take off the heat sesaon to taste, turn into a gravy boat and serve.
