Notes

*Nutritional facts are only an estimate. Accuracy for nutritional information on any recipes on this site is not guaranteed.
  • If you do have beef drippings, use it instead of butter. 
  • Au jus is perfect for a rib roast or roast beef sandwiches!
  • No need to get fancy with the wine, a cheaper bottle will work well!
  • If you’re planning for a big feast, make this ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
