    That is a lot of stock/broth to start with. Is that the right quantity?

    5 stars Hi, does anyone know how much au jus comes out of this recipe?

  3. Oscar G Oscar G on December 29, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    What sauce would you make using the au jus? In your video, you said you can use this to make more sauces – can you suggest what other sauces you would make after making the au jus ?

  4. Kristi Frodsham Kristi Frodsham on December 23, 2022 at 7:31 pm

    I used your recipe to make beef stock. I then used it in your au jus recipe. It seemed like a repetitive process of adding vegetables and simmering for hours. Is that what you recommend for a really flavorful au jus?

    • Chef Jean-Pierre Chef Jean-Pierre on December 24, 2022 at 6:01 pm

      Yes! simmering for hours is best! 😊

  5. Michael Buchholtz Michael Buchholtz on December 22, 2022 at 11:08 am

    Can this be made ahead of time and refrigerated?

    • Chef Jean-Pierre Chef Jean-Pierre on December 24, 2022 at 6:09 pm

      Yes! 😊
