🥣 III. Knorr Quick German Gravy (Soße)

🌟 The Ultimate Shortcut: Use Knorr Gravy Mix for Instant Richness!

You've saved the Rouladen drippings for incredible flavor, but instead of thickening the whole stock, we'll use a Knorr Gravy Mix to create the perfect, quick German Gravy.

Ingredients

Component	Quantity	Notes
Rouladen Drippings	1 cup	Liquid remaining in the pot after cooking Rouladen
Knorr Gravy Mix	1 package	Any brown gravy flavor (e.g., Roast Gravy or Hunter Sauce) from Knorr
Water	See package instructions	Usually 1 to 1.5 cups cold water

 

Instructions

1. Extract Drippings: Once the Rouladen are tender (Step I), remove them and the bay leaf. Carefully spoon out 1 cup of the highly flavorful cooking liquid (drippings) and set it aside. Discard the remaining vegetables/liquid.

2. Prepare the Knorr Gravy: In a small saucepan, combine the contents of the Knorr Gravy Mix with the recommended amount of cold water, whisking until smooth.

3. Simmer and Enrich: Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute.

4. Finish the Gravy: Stir in the 1 cup of reserved Rouladen drippings. This quick German Gravy will now have the added depth and authentic flavor of the slow-cooked beef. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
