For a richer gravy, consider adding a splash of red wine or beef broth to the pan drippings before thickening. A meat thermometer is your best friend! For rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C); for medium-rare, 135-140°F (57-60°C); for well-done, 160°F (71°C). Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Oct 23, 2023I found the gravy a bit thin, so I simmered it for a few extra minutes to thicken it up. Worked perfectly!
