Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together corn starch and water for the corn starch slurry. Set it aside for now, close at hand.
Pour beef drippings in a sauce pan and heat to a boil over medium-high heat.
Crumble up the stock cube and add to the sauce pan, then pour in water. Bring to a boil while whisking to ensure the stock cube is well dissolved.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in cream. Bring to a simmer.
Mix in the corn starch slurry and simmer 2 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
Turn off the heat and mix in balsamic vinegar, then taste test and season with salt and pepper only if needed.
