Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Cooking time varies with sausage size; the sausages used here take around 8 minutes.

2. 2

   Step 2: Transfer the sausages to a plate and turn the heat down to medium.

3. 3

   Step 3: Leave around 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. If there is much less, add a little butter.

4. 4

   Step 4: Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, around 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Step 5: Add the flour and mix it through. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

6. 6

   Step 6: Add about 3/4 cup of beef stock and mix it into the onion until it forms a thick paste. Add the remaining stock and mix until combined. If the gravy is lumpy, whisk it until smooth. Add the dark soy sauce, if using.

7. 7

   Step 7: Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want; it will thicken more as you serve it.
