Steps:
- Place the roasting pan from cooking roast beef on the stove over low heat after removing the roast from the pan. Alternatively, you can use another pan to cook the au jus sauce. Whisk Worcestershire Sauce and Red Wine into the dish along with drippings from the beef. If using the roasting pan, scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. A wooden spoon works best for this.
- Add beef broth or juices from the roast beef. Bring to a simmer. Serve hot with sliced roast beef.

Tips:
- Use a roasting pan with a rack. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and the drippings to collect in the pan below.
- Roast the meat at a high temperature. This will help to create a flavorful and crispy crust on the meat, while also rendering the fat and creating delicious drippings.
- Deglaze the pan with red wine. This will help to dissolve the browned bits on the bottom of the pan and add a rich flavor to the gravy.
- Add beef broth or stock to the pan. This will help to thin out the gravy and add more flavor.
- Season the gravy to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Strain the gravy before serving. This will help to remove any lumps or impurities.
Conclusion:
Au jus gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is especially popular with beef, but it can also be used with pork, chicken, or lamb. Au jus gravy is also a great way to use up leftover meat drippings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make a delicious and flavorful au jus gravy that will take your meals to the next level.
