Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Prepare gravy using any boneless beef pot roast, such as a rump, bottom round, shoulder or arm roast.
  • tip 2
    To prevent lumps in the gravy, make sure the flour is completely blended into the fat in the saucepan. Use a wire whisk or fork to blend well.
