    Pork with Gravy

    Lately, one of my favorite go-to meals to make my family is pork roast. Along with pork tenderloin, it’s easy to find on sale, so it’s easy to keep on a budget. And, pork roast is delicious!

    But, I have something to admit: I used to throw out my pork drippings instead of using them. Then it occurred to me I would never do that with beef drippings – I would always make beef gravy! So, why waste the pork drippings when it’s so easy and quick to make your own pork roast gravy?

    All you need is a few simple ingredients, a saucepan, a whisk, and 10 minutes! Use my delicious gravy for pork roast, pork steaks, or any pork dinner. This is the best gravy with pork!

    The drippings from a pork roast are packed with flavor and goodness that store-bought gravy packets just don’t have! Pork drippings are just calling to be made into a savory, easy gravy.

    Roast Pork Gravy Recipe Tips

    • Want to substitute cornstarch? Use flour instead of cornstarch!
    • If you don’t have enough drippings, add in extra chicken broth.
    • Using a whisk instead of a wooden spoon helps reduce any clumps that could happen, and you’re left with a creamy gravy!

    How to Make Pork Gravy without Pork Drippings

    You can make pork gravy without drippings from a pork roast! Substitute pork drippings for chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Making pork gravy without drippings won’t have the same meaty flavor, but will still be so delicious!

    Pork Roast Gravy FAQs

    What is pork gravy made of?

    Pork gravy is made with butter, chicken broth, cornstarch, water, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, along with the most important ingredient: pork roast drippings. The drippings from a pork roast add a ton of flavor to a pork gravy.

    Is pork gravy the same as brown gravy?

    Pork gravy is a type of brown gravy, and is essentially the same, except that brown gravy can refer to any kind of gravy made with drippings from a meat!

    Storing Roast Pork Gravy

    Not only is pork gravy super easy to make, but it lasts for several days in the refrigerator and even longer in the freezer, and it’s easy to reheat.

    • Refrigerator: Let pork gravy completely cool off before placing it inside an airtight container or jar. Refrigerate pork gravy for up to 4 days.
    • Freezer: Once pork gravy has completely cooled off, place it inside a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
    • Reheating: Pork gravy can be reheated in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
