You may know au jus as the classic accompaniment for French dip sandwiches. But this liquid can be used to enhance the flavor of a Sunday roast, prime rib<\/a> and more. This is how to make au jus from the pan drippings of any beef roast.<\/p>\n

What is au jus?<\/h2>\n

Au jus is a French term meaning “with juice” and is made with the juices that come from your meat during cooking. It’s not the same as beef broth<\/a>, as broth is made from simmering beef shanks in water and adding other herbs and seasonings to create a flavorful liquid. (You may combine your pan drippings with beef broth to create au jus for dipping, though.)<\/p>\n

There’s also confusion between au jus and brown gravy; however, these are not the same thing. In most kitchens, gravy<\/a> is made by combining the pan drippings along with a thickening agent, such as cornstarch, to create a thick, rich sauce.<\/p>\n
