Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large saucepan, combine the beef broth, water, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the saucepan. Stir to incorporate.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 4

    Season the Au Jus

    After 20 minutes, taste the au jus and add salt to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh thyme, allowing it to steep for an additional 5 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Strain the Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully strain the au jus through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the strained au jus to a serving bowl or gravy boat and serve warm alongside your favorite roasted meats or sandwiches.
