gravy
Explanation:
What it wants to say! 'roti' - borrowing from French. You could say 'sauce rôti' but that might seem a bit pedantic on a simple menu.

Not to be confused - unless you already are- with 'roti' - unleavened bread made in parts of Asia.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Tobias. After doing some further web research, I went with "gravy" as from what I could tell from the recipes I was seeing in Portuguese, it is gravy.
