Au Jus from Scratch

Making lunch meat French Dip sandwiches is so nice and easy, but sometimes I feel guilty about using the au jus from a packet. So, I found this delicious au jus from scratch! It's easy {takes a little time}, not as salty as the packet, and super yummy!

Easy Au Jus Ingredients:

• olive oil, just enough to saute
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (I use jarred)
• 1/8 cup white wine
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon flour

Easy Au Jus Directions:

1. Caramelize the onions in a small amount of olive oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two more.
2. Deglaze the pot with white wine, then add Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add beef broth and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
4. Strain broth and then return it to pot. Add flour and simmer an additional 5 minutes.
5. Enjoy!

*You can leave out the white wine, or substitute apple juice, vinegar or lemon juice.
