Prime Rib Au Jus
Roast Beef is one of my favorite meals to make for my family - especially prime rib! Whenever I make prime rib at home, I like to save the pan drippings to make a sauce. It’s the best way to keep the meat tender and moist even when reheating it. You can even use it to make Leftover Roast Beef Sandwiches!

How to Make Au Jus
Can I Use Beef Broth Instead of Au Jus
Beef broth can be used substitute for pan drippings. You will not get the depth of flavor from the drippings but it is a great substitute when in a pinch.
How to Store Au Jus
Allow your beef au jus to cool, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How to Freeze Au Jus
Let your au jus cool first, then store in an airtight, freezer-safe container with enough room for expansion at the top (at least an inch of space). Store in the freezer for up to 3 months and reheat on low heat over the stove. Alternatively, store in an ice cube tray, then transfer to a freezer bag, for individual portions of au jus.
