Let’s Get Cooking!
Here’s how you make this comforting Gordon Ramsay Sausage Onion Gravy Recipe:
Brown the Sausages (6–8 Minutes): Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until they’re nicely browned all over, about 6-8 minutes. The sizzle is music to my ears! Remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
Cook the Onions (3–4 Minutes): In the same pan, add the sliced onions (the smell is already amazing!) and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and just begin to turn golden and translucent.
Add Garlic & Butter: Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant oh, that aroma! Now add in 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until it melts.
Make a Roux (1 Minute): Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture. Stir it into a paste and let it cook for about a minute, stirring your heart out! This is your roux, and it’s going to thicken your gravy wonderfully.
Simmer with Stock (2–3 Minutes): Gradually whisk in the beef stock until you have a smooth mixture. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
Season the Gravy: Toss in the thyme leaves, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and a couple pinches of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, this is important to get it just right!
Return the Sausages (2 Minutes): Return the sausages to the pan and let everything simmer together for an additional 2 minutes. You want those sausages to soak up all the delicious flavors.
Serve Hot: Serve this scrumptious gravy hot, pouring it over a mountain of creamy mashed potatoes and a side of steamed greens for the ultimate meal!
