Savor the simplicity of this low-carb Au Jus gravy recipe. Whether with roast drippings or without, each spoonful promises to be the heart of savory indulgence.
Following the cooking of a roast atop onions, garlic, and herbs, transfer the pan containing leftover onions, garlic, herbs, and drippings to the stove.
roast drippings
Set to high heat, pour in wine and broth, bringing the mixture to a rapid simmer for approximately 10 minutes until it reduces to about 1 1/2 cups of gravy.
2 cups broth, 1/2 cup dry red wine
Strain the liquid into a bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.Finally, I like to use a fat separator for silky gravy that is not greasy.Serve your Jus in a gravy boat or pitcher alongside your roast.
