How to say "gravy" in Japanese

• グレービー
  nounThe loanword for the Western sauce itself, as served with roast meat and similar dishes; choose this when you mean that sauce rather than meat juices or a liquid poured over food in general.
  グレイビーをもう少すこしいかがですか。↗

  Would you like some more gravy?
• 掛け汁かけじる
  nounA less common word, literally a liquid poured over a dish; it covers gravy in that sense and also dressing, but for the Western sauce the katakana terms are the more direct match.
• グレービーソース
  nounAlso a loanword for the Western gravy, with the 'sauce' element explicit; like グレービー it points to the sauce served with roast dishes, not to the juices from the meat itself.
• 肉汁にくじゅう
  nounReally 'meat juices': bouillon or the juices that come out of grilled meat. Its 'gravy' sense is that drippings sense, so for the Western sauce itself the katakana terms are the words you want.

For the Western sauce served with roast meat and the like, use the loanwords 「グレービー」 or 「グレービーソース」; 肉汁 covers gravy as meat juices or drippings, while 「掛け汁」 is a less common word for a liquid poured over food.
