Easy Au Jus
Tasty Au Jus recipe perfect for French Dip roast beef sandwiches, prime rib, pot roast and more. Made with simple ingredients, this homemade from scratch recipe is quick and easy and will enhance the flavor of any meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups beef broth I used better than bouillon or beef bone broth
- 2 Tablespoons butter or beef drippings
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour optional, for a slightly thicker sauce
Instructions
- Heat butter (or beef drippings) in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic (and flour if using) and heat until bubbly. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and whisk to combine (If using flour, whisk vigorously until no lumps remain). Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Add salt and pepper as desired. See photos above for a visual.
Notes
- Use a high quality beef broth for best flavor and results.
- Store leftover au jus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat before use.
- Recipe photos were taken without the use of flour.
- Replace ¼ cup of the beef broth with red wine for a more traditional au jus.
- You can make au jus with almost any type of meat. Make this with chicken, turkey or any cuts of meat that have great drippings (then use the coordinating broth instead of beef broth).
