brown gravy
Drippings-based sauce
Brown gravy is a sauce made from meat drippings, stock, and flour, darkened by the caramelized fond from roasted meat or by added coloring.
It's the standard accompaniment to roast beef, mashed potatoes, and biscuits in American home cooking: Pour some brown gravy over the meatloaf.
The term distinguishes it from white gravies made with milk or cream.
