For an even deeper flavor profile, consider adding a sprig of fresh thyme or a bay leaf during the simmering process. Remove before serving. If you prefer a thicker consistency, create a slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk into the simmering au jus until desired thickness is achieved. Beef drippings are the key to exceptional flavor; however, clarified butter or olive oil can be substituted in a pinch. Ensure your beef broth is of high quality, as it forms the foundation of the au jus. Homemade is always best, but a good quality store-bought variety will also work.

Nov 27, 2024My au jus was a bit too salty. I'll definitely use low-sodium broth next time and be more careful with the salt.
