EASY AU JUS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Mince 1 garlic clove. Pick the leaves from 4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme until you have 1 teaspoon.
• Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the thyme and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Pour in 1 1/2 cups beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and whisk to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper as needed.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the flavors meld, about 2 minutes. If desired, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or gravy dish, or serve as is.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter; when the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and start to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Place the rolls cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Liberally brush the rolls with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside for assembling.
• To the pot with the mushrooms, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer an additional minute. Turn the heat off, then add the roast beef to the pot, quickly removing when just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of creamy horseradish, to taste, on both sides of the rolls. Add a layer of beef on the bottom halves of each roll, then top with a spoonful of mushrooms along with some of the jus. Top with giardiniera to taste. Transfer the remaining jus to dipping bowls and serve on the side.
