Au Jus is a flavorful, light sauce traditionally used in French cuisine to accompany roasted meats like beef or lamb. Translated as "with juice," it is made by simmering meat drippings with stock, often beef or veal, and occasionally enhanced with herbs, garlic, wine, or onions for added depth. Known for its rich, savory taste, Au Jus is low in calories and fat compared to gravies, as it typically lacks thickening agents like flour or cream. However, the sodium content can be high, depending on the seasonings and stock used, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Its simple composition makes it a versatile and lighter alternative to heavier sauces and a popular pairing for French dip sandwiches, prime rib, or other roasted dishes, adding moisture and robust flavor without overwhelming the palate.
