How to Make Cabernet Jus For Roast
- In a large non-aluminum saucepan or pot, combine 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon, 1 cup beef stock, 1/4 cup port wine, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot, 1 bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the mixture reduces to approximately 1 1/2 cups, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once reduced, carefully skim off any excess fat from your roast drippings. Add 1/2 cup of the de-fatted roast drippings and 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the reduction. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Strain the jus through a fine-mesh sieve into a sauceboat, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Serve immediately alongside your perfectly roasted beef, pork, or buffalo.
- **For Beef Dip Au Jus:** Thin the jus to your desired consistency with water or unsalted chicken broth. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed.
