- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ 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.
