Easy Au Jus. How to Make a Simple Au Jus Without Pan Drippings.

One of my absolute favorite sandwiches is the French Dip Sandwich (or in my house, the French Dip Crescent), but I tend to make it from roast beef lunch meat so I don't have any pan drippings to make Au Jus. So sad, right? No!!! Because I've come up with a fantastically simple Au Jus recipe that requires no pan drippings! And, bonus? You can freeze it in small batches to pull out whenever you're craving a tasty French Dip.

Easy Au Jus Ingredients:
  • olive oil, just enough to saute
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (I use jarred)
  • 1/8 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon flour
Easy Au Jus Directions:
  1. Caramelize the onions in a small amount of olive oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two more.
  2. Deglaze the pot with white wine, then add Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Add beef broth and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  4. Strain broth and then return it to pot. Add flour and simmer an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Enjoy!

What a genius idea! I love this and am going to keep it in mind for my next beef roast leftovers.

Too bad that I just finished off the last of our beef roast last week.

What kind of wine did you use to make this?

Gracegrower said...

this sounds good but do you know if I could substitute the wine for white grape juice?

My husband can not have wine. What do you suggest I can use as a substitution?

I have seen other recipes where chicken broth or even water was substituted for the wine. I have not made this recipe, but I assume the same would be true for this recipe.

I was raised using grape juices as wine substitutes - white grape for white wine, and red grape for red wine. It has always worked for me. I have this simmering right now, so I'll let you know if it doesn't work, but it smells amazing!
