2. Sauté the Base

In a skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil, or use brisket drippings if available. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

3. Add the Heat

Add the chopped jalapeños and cook for another 2 minutes. This helps release their flavor while slightly softening their texture.

4. Make the Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the onion, garlic, and jalapeño mixture. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to cook
