  • Gravy Making: Make a roux with the remaining oil for the gravy. Add in the flour and whisk well. When it’s lightly brown and smells nutty, add the milk and whisk until it’s evenly mixed. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper before pouring over the steaks.
