    Don't you know you're supposed to be born knowing how to do everything? How dare you openly admit and try to learn.

    Different gravy requires different stuff. Milk gravy, red eye gravy, brown gravy, tomato gravy, sausage gravy. Just a few of the most popular. Each has it's own needs and different liquid/spice combos and roux cook times.

    Practice makes perfect and the only person who has to enjoy it is you. So read some recipes, follow them then get philosophical from there.

    congrats on trying to live healthier lives

    i use water. broth is beef flavored water. I dont use milk unless I am making gravy for biscuits.

    making the roux is the key.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    I don't always thicken my gravies especially when it's going on grits or horseradish or rosemary mashed potatoes - shrimp head gravy running free in a bowl if grits is perfect.

    If'n it's goin' on bread or biscuits then, yes, make it thick.

    6 Whisk while slowly adding liquid: Stir with a wire whisk until the gravy begins to thicken. As the gravy thickens, slowly add stock, water, milk, or cream, or some combination to the pan (I like to use stock, my mother usually uses water).
    Now make note of how much liquid you have. Remember, our goal this time is 3 cups of gravy so we’re going to need 3 cups of liquid. How much do you have? If it’s more than 3 cups, you’re not going to use it all. You can add the extra to your mashed potatoes instead of milk, or freeze it for later or discard it. If, on the other hand, you have less than 3 cups, then add to it. As noted above, you can use unsalted broth or stock, wine or water. Only go with wine or water if the drippings are very meaty flavored. If they’re not, stick with broth or stock. Make sure it’s unsalted though. Gravy can get salty quickly as it simmers and reduces. You want control over that salt as much as possible.
    those were the first two recipes on google

    Deer cube steak can sometimes be a little dry so I usually add some flour and milk

    It's the way my grandmother always made them. As they were finishing cooking she would break them up with a fork and turn them into almost mashed potato consistency. I will eat them anyway they are cooked or presented.

    Depends on what type gravy you are making but the answer is still the same for me.

    Also, you can't add too much pepper to milk gravy and it appears from the pictures you fellas are making it too thick.
