Physically yes. There isn't very much of a chemical difference between the two (i.e. your dish won't explode if you substitute beef for chicken). However, your dish will taste very different, as beef broth is generally heavier and saltier tasting.
Brown gravy is usually made with beef pork or chicken stock, browning would be cooking the gravy until it an earthy brown color, and no longer a whitish brown color.
There are about 123 calories in 1 cup of beef gravy.
Well, white sauces are by their very definition milk or milk product based sauces, rather than broth, stock, or say tomato based sauces. Brown gravy or au jus are by definition based on beef broth, beef stock or beef demiglace, whereas country gravy is a milk based gravy, generally served with pork chops or chicken fried steak. If you're asking why milk versus half and half versus light or heavy cream, my guess is the recipe you are looking at wants less fat than half and half or cream provide.
Yes, you can, but the taste would be different.
It's a vegetable product but it has a taste similar to beef broth so vegetarians could use it to flavor foods that usually contain beef broth.
Brown some meat in a skillet, about a 1/4 in of veg oil, let it get brown, and a lttle burn in some spots, sticking to skillet is ok, once done, take meat out of pan and put on the side , leave the used oil in skillet with little pieces of broken meat and burned pieces, while it's still hot on med heat, and one or two tablespoons of white flour, stir around vigorously and allow to brown, keep stirring and avoid lumping, all at once pour in about a half cup of water , keep stirring vigorously. To avoid lumps, gravy will expand. And small amounts of water if you want thinner gravy:.. Salt and pepper to taste... Enjoy!
Check the ingredients. Traditional beef gravy is made with beef drippings, so it is not.
Beef broth can easily be substituted with chicken broth or vegetable broth. Usually, what is most important is the fact that you add a flavored liquid to whatever you are cooking. While it may subtly affect the taste, the overall quality of the dish will not be compromised.
Good question! If the stock is a light golden color, it's ok. If the stock is a dark yellow or brown, don't use. This would be if you are using turkey or chicken broth. If you are working with beef stock, a tan color is ok. If it is a light brown, that's ok as well. If the beef broth is dark brown or a very oddly colored black don't use. Beef broth is darker then turkey or chicken stock.
Add a few peeled potatoes, or a minimal amount of sugar. Taste to test
Yes, you can substitute chicken broth for turkey stock as the two are similar in taste. This would work better than substituting with vegetable or beef stock.
