Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Pour in the beef broth and add the dried thyme, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. If using red wine, pour it into the saucepan and stir. The wine adds depth and richness to the au jus, enhancing its overall flavor profile.

  4. Allow the au jus to simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together and create a delicious, aromatic broth.

  5. Once the au jus has simmered and reduced slightly, remove it from the heat. Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the liquid to remove the onion, garlic, and herbs. This will result in a smooth and silky au jus.

  6. Taste the au jus and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preferences.

  7. Your Classic Chef John's Au Jus is now ready to serve! Pour it into a gravy boat or small bowls to accompany your favorite dishes.

  8. Store any leftover au jus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
