BEEF AU JUS SAUCE



Beef Au Jus Sauce image

I can no longer abide the packet type au jus -- it's just too salty and the taste just seems to be off somehow. We used to spend hours baking trays of beef bones in the restaurant kitchen to make the best au jus, but who has the time (or the bones?) to do that at home? Anyway, I've been messing with alternative au jus recipes for years, to no avail until NOW. When I bake a beef roast, I elevate it above the bottom of my roasting pan/Dutch oven and then I pour in about 3/4 of a cup of water before I season the roast with salt and pepper. I rarely sear my roasts anymore because they are plenty juicy when I use this method, (e.g., 275 degrees F. for 4 1/2 hours for a 2# roast, covered). Anyway, this yields about 1 cup of drippings at the end, which I use to make my au jus. When I find a perfectly marbled roast, with not too much fat around the outside edges, I find that the drippings are excellent for this recipe because there is just enough fat in the drippings to add a good amount of flavor. In the end, you can use this au jus for anything up to, and including, prime rib -- it's just great. The key ingredients, I think, are the Mrs. Dash, garlic and herb blend, (something I just started using recently), in combination with the Kitchen Bouquet. A small amount of the latter goes a LONG way! I hope you enjoy the ease of preparation and the great flavor of this au jus as much as my own family does!

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium beef stock
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic
2 cups thinly sliced radishes (about 8 ounces)
4 crusty hoagie rolls
1 pound Homemade Roast Beef, thinly sliced, recipe follows
8 thick slices gruyere
Watercress, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-pound boneless beef eye round roast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the au jus: Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peppercorns, salt, thyme, garlic, rosemary and shallots. Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer, a few minutes. Add the stock and simmer, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid. Keep warm.
  • For the pickled radishes: Simmer 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, star anise, bay leaf and garlic. After 10 minutes of simmering, pour the mixture over the radishes in a heat-proof container and cool.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Place the sliced Homemade Roast Beef on the bottom. Top with 1 slice gruyere each, some pickled radishes and watercress. Cover with the tops of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half, dunk into the au jus and realize sometimes leftovers are just better.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the roast, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Wipe off the excess garlic and herbs and add the roast to the pan. Sear the roast on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

ROAST BEEF AU JUS



Roast Beef Au Jus image

This recipe was given to me 35 years ago as a beef romanoff dish. The dish required sour cream and cooked noodles added to the gravy. It was delicious but not my family's favorite dish. I adjusted the recipe to suit my family's taste by eliminating the sour cream and noodles and by slicing the roast very thin, placing the meat inside a hot yeast roll, serving with a small dish of gravy for dipping. After serving this to my son-in-law 16 years ago, this dish has become one of his favorite request when he visits. This meal is sliced roast beef in a large hot yeast roll served with the gravy for dipping. The gravy will not be thick.
