Equipment

Small saucepan

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine I used Cabernet Sauvignon
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the Italian seasoning, cornstarch, onion powder, and garlic powder to the saucepan, stirring well for about 20 seconds.
Pour in the beef broth and red wine and let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season the au jus with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the au jus to remove the Italian seasoning.
Transfer the au jus to a serving container or gravy boat.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth or a high-quality store-bought version. The quality of the broth will significantly impact the taste of the au jus.
If you do not wish to use wine, you can substitute it with additional beef broth.
