This is without a doubt the best tasting gravy receipe I have ever used. I have used it with standing rib roasts and fillet steaks and roasts. I usually make substitutions as I see fit when using a receipe.... not this one ! It is perfect as written. My sister-in-law Freida, who is a wonderful cook, uses it also and that is indeed high praise.

Oh wow this was absolutely delicious! And super super easy. The sauce was to die for! I only did some minor changes, instead of using montreal steak seasoning, I simply salt and peppered my steak. And I did not use an entire 1/4 cup of cognac, instead I used half of it. But the rest, I followed the recipe in exact. I love Sandra because she finds ways to make classics that are usually time consuming, fast and easy to make and still delicious! It makes things so much easier for full time workers and mothers like me! Thanks Sandra!
