Easy Pork Gravy (10 Minute Recipe)

This Easy Pork Gravy is homemade with Pork Drippings and only takes 10 minutes to make! It's thick, creamy and perfect over pork cutlets, pork tenderloin, pork roast or these Garlic Cheese Mashed Potatoes.

When it comes to meat, it's not top on my list, but it moves up the rankings really quick when you pour gravy over it. You can also win my heart over with gravy on these Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

This homemade gravy is made from pork drippings and is really creamy, thick and delicious. For an easy way to gather pork drippings, make this gravy from my dutch oven pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:

Pork Drippings- The most important part of this pork roast gravy is having the drippings from the pork roast. My pork tenderloin recipe cooks in less than an hour and gives you the pan drippings you need for this recipe. Any pork roast or tenderloin should get you enough drippings. If you are short by a little bit, just substitute it with chicken stock.

Butter and flour- Combine to create a roux to thicken the stock and pork drippings into a gravy.

Chicken Stock- Used to flavor the gravy and create the best consistency. I used chicken stock versus beef because of the whiter color of the pork. However, technically pork is considered a red meat over white meat.

Substitutions and Variations:

• If you want to use beef stock instead of chicken stock, that would be fine. Just add a little less salt or make sure to taste before adding because beef stock is on the saltier side. This will also result in a darker brown gravy.
• Have a little less than ½ cup pork drippings? Add in a bit more chicken stock to make up for it.
• Prefer cornstarch versus flour for gravy? Add in a teaspoon at a time until thickened, but be sure to mix it with some of the gravy in a separate bowl and whisk to combine before adding to the gravy. Do NOT add the cornstarch powder directly into the pan or you will end up with white chunks in the gravy.

Expert Tips for Pork Roast Gravy:

• This recipe requires constant stirring. I suggest using a wooden spoon to avoid scratching your pan.
• Serve the gravy hot to avoid the thick layer of fat you get on top of gravy when it cools. You can allow it to cook on low in the skillet until serving, just make sure to stir it occasionally and you can always add a splash of chicken stock in, if you need it.
