Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors often improve the next day.

Substitutions: If leeks are unavailable, use sliced onions or shallots for sautéing. You can substitute beef broth for the water to enhance the savory flavor of the gravy.

Tips: For a richer gravy, deglaze the pan with red wine instead of water before adding the roast back in. Ensure the Dutch oven lid fits tightly to maintain proper braising temperature and moisture.
