For an even richer flavor, consider using beef stock instead of chicken stock. A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end can add a lovely tanginess to the gravy. If you prefer a smoother gravy, you can use an immersion blender to blend it to your desired consistency after it has thickened. The caramelization process is key to the gravy's flavor, so be patient and don't rush it.
