BEEF AU JUS SAUCE



Beef Au Jus Sauce image

I can no longer abide the packet type au jus -- it's just too salty and the taste just seems to be off somehow. We used to spend hours baking trays of beef bones in the restaurant kitchen to make the best au jus, but who has the time (or the bones?) to do that at home? Anyway, I've been messing with alternative au jus recipes for years, to no avail until NOW. When I bake a beef roast, I elevate it above the bottom of my roasting pan/Dutch oven and then I pour in about 3/4 of a cup of water before I season the roast with salt and pepper. I rarely sear my roasts anymore because they are plenty juicy when I use this method, (e.g., 275 degrees F. for 4 1/2 hours for a 2# roast, covered). Anyway, this yields about 1 cup of drippings at the end, which I use to make my au jus. When I find a perfectly marbled roast, with not too much fat around the outside edges, I find that the drippings are excellent for this recipe because there is just enough fat in the drippings to add a good amount of flavor. In the end, you can use this au jus for anything up to, and including, prime rib -- it's just great. The key ingredients, I think, are the Mrs. Dash, garlic and herb blend, (something I just started using recently), in combination with the Kitchen Bouquet. A small amount of the latter goes a LONG way! I hope you enjoy the ease of preparation and the great flavor of this au jus as much as my own family does!

Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

ROAST BEEF AU JUS



Roast Beef Au Jus image

This recipe was given to me 35 years ago as a beef romanoff dish. The dish required sour cream and cooked noodles added to the gravy. It was delicious but not my family's favorite dish. I adjusted the recipe to suit my family's taste by eliminating the sour cream and noodles and by slicing the roast very thin, placing the meat inside a hot yeast roll, serving with a small dish of gravy for dipping. After serving this to my son-in-law 16 years ago, this dish has become one of his favorite request when he visits. This meal is sliced roast beef in a large hot yeast roll served with the gravy for dipping. The gravy will not be thick.

Provided by The Meal Planner

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 23h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon steak seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound small round red potatoes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the beef in a roasting pan and pour the beer over the meat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning once.
  • Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Remove the roast from the stout and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Set the browned roast on plate.
  • Crush the rosemary, thyme, steak seasoning, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Add the minced garlic and stir to make a paste. Spread the paste over the outside of the roast. Place the roast back into the roasting pan with the stout and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and leave off the foil to let the roast get a crispy coating.
  • Bake to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about another hour. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Pour the pan juices into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until the juices have reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain the juices and serve with the beef and roasted potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef au jus. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the finished dish. Be sure to sear the beef in a hot pan until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the au jus, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and depth to the au jus. Common vegetables used in beef au jus include carrots, celery, and onions. Common herbs used in beef au jus include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Simmer the beef until it is tender: The beef should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This can take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the cut of beef.
  • Make the au jus: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the braising liquid and let it rest. Strain the braising liquid and skim off any fat. Bring the braising liquid to a simmer and add any additional seasonings, such as salt and pepper. Reduce the braising liquid until it is thickened and flavorful.
  • Serve the beef au jus: The beef au jus can be served over the beef, on the side, or used as a dipping sauce. It is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Conclusion:

Beef au jus is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious beef au jus that will be the star of your next meal.
