How to Make Beef Au Jus Sauce

  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of beef drippings from a roasted beef over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/2 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet, 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb blend, and 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry (from step 1). Continue whisking constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  6. Pour over your favorite cooked beef dish, such as roast beef, pot roast, or beef and noodles. Enjoy!
