HOMEMADE ONION GRAVY WITH RED WINE
I was thrilled. He gets to stand out in the cold and grill the meat. I get to stand in the kitchen (with a glass of wine) and watch him LOL. I was nice, I opened the door and offered him a glass of wine too. This turned out to be THE MOST DELICIOUS steak dinner we have ever made.
Homemade gravy is so much better than pre-made versions from cans, pouches, packages or however else you can buy it. Some people are so intimidated when it comes to making homemade gravy. After all, you can’t serve gravy with lumps at holiday dinners.

Instructions
Thinly slice the onions.
Warm the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
Adds the onions, stir and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Mix during the cooking process. Onions should be soft and translucent. Do not burn them.
Turn the heat to low. Add the butter, salt and pepper. Mix well, and place the lid on the pan.
Cook over low heat until the onions are nicely caramelized. Stir several times. It will take about 40-50 minutes for the onions to nicely brown and get very soft.
**NOTE** You can cook the onions ahead of time, and just warm them when it is time to make the gravy.
When the onions are done, turn up the heat to medium.
Add the hot pepper jelly and mustard. Stir until everything has melted into the onions.
Add the flour and mix to combine well.
Add the wine and beef broth. Mix.
Turn the heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, and cook until the gravy thickens and reduces slightly. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Pour gravy into a serving vessel.
ENJOY!
