Weird object trends, Canada Day & more | The Ten
On the Monday, June 23, 2025 episode of The Ten, Hanna Battah and Steve Noviello are challenged to find odd objects in the FOX 4 office. Plus, the folks from Maple Leaf Diner are ready to celebrate National Canada Day with a poutine recipe and more.
Ingredients:
- 5 cups Hot Water (divided)
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1-2 tbsp Beef Base (adjust based on beef trimmings and juice)
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/4 tsp Ground Sage
- 1/2 to 1 cup Roast Beef Trimmings & Juices (with fat if available)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine 3.5 cups hot water, roast beef trimmings and juice,
and beef base (start with 1 tbsp and increase to taste if fewer trimmings are used). Stir to dissolve.
2. Add Spices: Add bay leaf, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Simmer & Reduce: Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to concentrate.
Remove bay leaf after simmering.
4. Thicken the Gravy: In a separate bowl, mix 3 tbsp flour with 1.5 cups cold water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour slurry into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly.
- Add more beef base to the flour slurry to intensify flavor or adjust thickness.
5. Finish Cooking: Continue cooking on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until the gravy thickens and the flour is fully cooked through. Adjust seasoning and thickness as needed.
Strain before serving.
