Home Kitchen Kitchen-made Au Jus Gravy Mix

Did you know you can make kitchen-made beef au jus gravy mix?

This DIY mix is a staple in my home because it’s SO straightforward and when made, it tastes notable. Whether used for making a luscious gravy for dipping sandwiches in or for seasoning pot roast – I’ve even sipped it piping hot from a mug (yes! It’s that good!) – it saves so much time having on hand. And bonus! you most likely have these ingredients in your pantry.

To cook this Au Jus Gravy Mix Set out:

• beef bouillon powder – Use one that you like once hydrated. I prefer Wylers or Knorr. Herb-Ox for low-sodium and gluten free.
• cornstarch– Helps thicken the au jus while giving it a glossy sheen.
• onion powder – Lends additional bold oniony flavor.
• parsley flakes (dried) – For bright and herbaceous flavor.
• garlic powder – Adds flavor that’s sweeter yet milder than fresh garlic.
• freshly ground black pepper – This adds subtle bite and flavor.

In the bowl of a mini food processor or personal blender, measure and add 4 tablespoons beef bouillon powder, 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 4 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes, 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Secure the lid and process until thoroughly combined. Allow the dust to settle before opening.

Transfer to a container or jar with a tight fitting lid and store at room temperature.

How Long Will Kitchen-made Au Jus Gravy Mix Last?

If stored properly, the beef au jus gravy mix will last up to 6 months.

This dish yields 3 ounces which is equal to 3 (1 ounce) packets of store-bought brands. To measure, I like to weigh 1 ounce of the au jus mix which is about 4-1/2 teaspoons.

Make Kitchen-made Beef Au Jus:

Measure and add 1 ounce (4-1/2 teaspoons) of the from-scratch mix into a saucepan.

Pour in 2 cups water and whisk well to combine.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened slightly.
