Can I Make Gravy with Bristet Drippings?

Heck YEAH!  My hubby loves his electric smoker, and brisket is something we smoke quite often. We usually smoke the brisket for about 24 hours over low heat.  The bisket is perfectly fork tender, and we are left with a pan of brisket drippings at the end.  Instead of tossing or discarding the brisket drippings, we made this amazingly flavorful gravy!  It only takes a few minutes to make, but it’s a great way to keep brisket drippings and not throw them away.

I’m all about saving, reusing, or repurposing as much as I can in my kitchen. This smoked brisket gravy is the perfect recipe to repurpose something you may be tempted to throw out. Instead of tossing the brisket fat in the compost or garbage, you can repurpose it into a delicious and flavorful gravy.  I’m all about saving anything I can from my kitchen, and this sauce is a great way to avoid letting food go to waste!

Make This Brisket in the Electric Smoker!

Our friends gave us an electric smoker for a housewarming gitft a while ago, and it has been really fantastic for all kinds of foods.  We do brisket, pork tenderloin, ribs, smoked salmon… and even some vegan and vegetarian recipes as well. We’ve smoked some really fun things like this tofu recipe, eggs, and even Cheese-Itz.  All taste awesome, and you can do so much with an electric smoker besides meat.  AND make sure to saving and drippings or juices from the meat to make delicious gravy or sauces.

How Do I Make Gravy from Brisket Drippings?

  1. Take the cooked brisket from the oven or smoker. Remove as much fat as you can from the drippings.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the brisket drippings over low heat until melted.  Slowly whisk in the flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until the gravy begins to have a noticeably thick consistency.  If you need to add liquid to your gravy, add vegetable stock, one 1/4 cup at a time. It should resemble the texture of maple syrup.
  3. Never stop whisking, and always make sure the flour is completely dissolved before adding the next spoonful.
  4. Once the gravy has a nice texture, taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding salt, pepper, or spices like rosemary or thyme if desired.
  5. Pour gravy over meat, over mashed potatoes, or crispy potato wedges.  Mangia!

    I had been cooking my brisket in a slow cooker for 2 days. Today I decided to make garlic mashed potato with the brisket and needed gravy.
    This was the first re pipe that popped up. It seemed easy so I followed it…..WOW…AMAZINGLY EASY.
