French Dip Au Jus

"A delicious dip for your french dip sandwiches. Better Than Bouillon is a brand of soup base its more of a paste.It's found with the bouillon. Just look for a soup base that lists beef as the first ingredient. I do not generally use the granules because we do not care for the flavor as much but you can use them.I would start with 1 tbs. of granules because of the salt content. If you could not find the Better Than Bouillon or a soup base product you could also use a canned beef broth or stock."

  1. Perfect. I used a carrot instead of an onion and a knob of the bone from the prime rib as a fat agent, and some marsala and worchestershire. I reduced it for quite a while and it was so so good. Thanks!
     
  2. This is very good. I also add some butter, red wine, Italian seasoning, a little bit of worchestershire sauce, some thomas'es sauce, and some carrots if I have them.
     
  3. Yes! This is THE quintessential Au Jus for French Dip sandwiches. And Eye of Round is definitely the cut of meat to use. Thanks for this wonderfully easy and spot on recipe. It's not very often that a thing tastes the way you imagine it to, but this did it.

  5. DH loved this! Fast and easy and very flavorful! I thinly sliced some leftover steak (rare) that I allowed to come to room temp before serving. Made an easy sandwich of it with toasted multi grain bread. FAST meal and very satisfied dh! Thanks
