junki3korean Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Coming back to Thailand with the Missus in Christmas. She loves steak and we eat it pretty often here in Australia. She wants me too cook for the family when we come back. Just wandering where I can get some good powdered or liquid gravy here....anywhere in Bkk or pattaya would be more ideal. Do they have the brand GRAVOX here??? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgodber Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You don’t need that stuff for really good gravy... 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan and add a little bit of the steak drippings Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until it gets brown Then start to add a little water at a time and stir more until you get the consistency you like Add salt and pepper to taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the gravy granules, man! It's an easy process, really, called making (gravy from) a ROUX, the combination of equal parts fat (butter) and flour. Then, after it's browned, pan drippings are added & stirred... Then, I suggest stirring MILK instead of water to finish with a creamier gravy. Dee-lish!! Good luck!

I've seen gravy garnules available in most Pattaya & Jomtien supermarkets. My English friends love it. I tried only once... then, FAST, went back to roux gravy... MUCH better!

TheWalkingMan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I believe Villa Market in Pattaya has a brand of gravy. It is located on the right side of the store, above the isle of frozen foods. Enjoy! TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how much gravy you intend to make... but the steak drippings should normally make enough gravy for themselves. If you wish to expand it (say, for pouring over potatoes), simply add a beef bullion cube and some more water/milk before you salt it to taste. If you like a richer gravy, use the bullion cubes as the only source of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 ... as was discussed here a few years back, a real roux takes anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour depending on the desired result: There are three basic types of roux: light (or what the Cajuns call "blond"), medium (or "peanut butter" colored), and dark. (from gumbopages dot com search for roux) and in New Orleans they would use oil, not butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
