Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the onions, carrots, and celery on the prepared baking sheet. Place the rib bones on top.
- 2
Roast until the bones are deep brown and the onions are black, about 1 hour. Use a spatula or tongs to transfer the bones and vegetables to a saucepan. Drain off any rendered fat from the baking sheet and reserve it for the gravy.
- 3
Add the broth and water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meat falls off the bone and is flavorless, about 4 hours. Skim any fat from the surface and reserve it.
- 4
Strain the broth and let it cool to room temperature.
- 5
Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms until well browned. Add 2 tablespoons rendered beef fat and stir until melted. Add the flour and cook for a few minutes.
- 6
Whisk in the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the gravy has thickened to the desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes more.

Adjust salt to taste and season with freshly ground black pepper, cayenne, and balsamic vinegar.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
