Cracker Barrel Roast Beef Gravy Recipe

You won’t believe how the blend of beef juices, a splash of cornstarch, and a secret ingredient transform into a silky smooth sauce.
I find using a bit of pressure cooker liquid adds depth and flavor to the mix.
Make sure you don’t skip resting the beef as those juices are integral for a flavorful concoction.
This gravy is delightful on mashed potatoes or drizzled over the tender roast beef itself.
