The meat turns out more tender and appetizing if you serve it with gravy.

The treat goes well with a variety of side dishes.

Flour is usually used to thicken this additive.

But there are other options to make the sauce thick, tasty, and also go well with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or vegetables.

There is a way out. To do this, you need to use just a few teaspoons of mustard. The sauce will immediately thicken on the fire, and will also get a more interesting and bright taste.

If the dish already has enough spiciness, then you just need to replace this product with regular Dijon mustard.

The effect will be the same, but the spiciness will be moderate. The taste of the gravy will be softer, with a sweet and sour flavor.

You can also safely mix potato or corn starch into the gravy instead of flour.

It is better to mix this product with water first and then pour it into the sauce.
