🧂 Ingredients

• ½ cup beef drippings

  (if not using drippings swap for butter)
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 tablespoon beef broth paste

  (Better Than Bouillon Beef Base)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  (optional, or soy sauce)
• salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• ½ cup beef drippings

  (if not using drippings swap for butter)
• 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  (use gluten free all-purpose flour if desired)
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 tablespoon beef broth paste

  (Better Than Bouillon Beef Base)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  (optional, or soy sauce)
• salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

• 1 Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the ½ cup beef drippings (or
  butter).
• 2 Once the beef drippings are hot (or the butter has melted), pour in the 2 cups
  beef stock. Then add the 1 tablespoon beef broth paste and 1 tablespoon
  Worcestershire sauce, if using. Whisk to combine.
• 3 Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer
  uncovered for 15 minutes. The au jus will reduce during this time and the
  flavors will become more concentrated.
• 4 Taste test your au jus and adjust the salt & pepper as needed. Then remove from
  heat and serve right away.
• 5 Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the ½ cup beef drippings (or
  butter). Once the beef drippings are hot or the butter is melted, whisk in the 2
  tablespoon all-purpose flour.
• 6 After adding the flour, pour in the first ½ a cup of beef stock. Then add the 1
  tablespoon beef broth paste and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, if using.
  Whisk thoroughly until no clumps remain. Once everything is combined, pour in
  the remaining 1 ½ cups of beef broth and whisk until smooth again.
• 7 Bring the gravy mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and continue to whisk
  while simmering until the gravy thickens, usually about 2-3 minutes,
• 8 Remove from heat, taste, and adjust the salt & pepper (to taste) if needed, and
  serve right away.
