Another Classic from the Luby's Chain. I have made this hundreds of times in my life. I like some fresh garlic in my gravy, a dash of sugar. A tbsp. of ketchup ( it balances the flavors). Also no sauce is a true brown sauce unless there is a tomato product in it, plus the ketchup adds a flavor I like , if not too much is used. Read more You can use that or some A1 steak sauce, if using the A1 leave out the ketchup., but you don't wont any one flavor to dominate the gravy, but a well balanced gravy. I have also used sliced mushrooms and cracked peppercorns. Even green fresh or bottled peppercorns. You can reduce this natural gravy or to add even more flavor by making a roux with real butter. If the gravy becomes too thick add some water added to beef base or to make it even with more flavorful, thin the gravy out with heavy cream,. Confused you yet? I am just relaying the different ways I have experimented with this dish and there really is no wrong way as long as you like the end product. The recipe that really works for me : A roux slightly browned a little beef base, green fresh / bottled peppercorns, fresh garlic minced, heavy cream and a small amout of white wine or red wine your choice, Pepper and salt to taste if needed. My Dad was a somewhat picky eater and the only dishes he actually would either call or come over and ask me to make is a chicken fried hamburger steak, with white cream gravy , mashed potatoes and for dessert an egg custard pie. I am not sure where the chicken fried hamburger steak came from, but for some reason I started making them the early 1970s. I would make a hamburger steak and fry it like chicken. I guess it would be a poor man's chicken fried steak and we had chicken fried steaks in Texas were I grew up. He had false teeth when he got older and the ground beef was easier for him to eat , so I came up with ground beef. I would Love to make that recipe one more time for him, Love you Dad. See less
