Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Beef drippings (from roast or pan)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth (low-sodium, preferably)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the beef drippings and unsalted butter to the pan, stirring until the butter is fully melted.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, whisking continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the au jus thickens slightly and flavors are well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve warm alongside roast beef, prime rib, or as a dipping sauce for French dip sandwiches.
