Notes

  • Serve with prime rib, chuck roast, or as a side dipping sauce for dishes like a French Dip sandwich.
  • You can make au jus using more than just beef! Try making au jus with pan drippings from chicken and even turkey. Use chicken broth instead of beef broth and white wine instead of red wine.
