How to Make Amazing Shepherd's Pie

5. Make a Gravy

We now return to the meat skillet to make a gravy. Turn the stove back on with low - medium heat. We don’t want the gravy too runny, so we are going to add two tablespoons of flour and stir until it is completely mixed in. Flour makes sauces thick, so you have the benefit of juicy meat without the inconvenience of food running off your plate. Add 1/2 cup of beef stock and one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for added flavor. Stir constantly, so it doesn't clump together. Your meat mixture should thicken up to the consistency of gravy, at which time you will turn off the heat.
