💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes Do not add salt until the cooking process is complete. The jus will reduce and concentrate flavor.You can add aromatics if desired. I typically add a fresh sprig of rosemary.For the gravy you can add minced shallots and garlic if desired. You can add them to the au jus for flavor, but should strain them out before serving.If you don’t plan on using drippings, make it ahead of time! You can store the jus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.See my recipe for a fabulous red wine au jus! 😋 More Great Recipes To Serve With Roasts Yorkshire Puddings (great to sop up the au jus)Oat Rolls (the perfect fluffy rolls for any meal)Garlic Green Beans (an easy, flavorful side dish)Fondant Potatoes (the MOST AMAZING potato side dish ever)Twice Baked Potatoes (my favorite easy potato side dish for roasts)Horseradish Sauce (what better to dip your prime rib into)
