So it turns out that eating raw fish might not have been such a good idea after all

[Burney]

Put half an inch of water in the bottom of the roasting dish. Put the top lid on. Your beef will be as juicy and tender as ****.

And you'll have enough juice / water / fat to make a gravy.

Water? But if you have water in the bottom of the pan, you'll have no sticky residues to deglaze. Without sticky residues, there can be no true gravy.

Ignore this dangerous charlatan, vpv. He knows nothing of gravy.
