Recipe Notes

Ensure the Aus Jus has a rich beefy taste by tasting it before serving and adjusting seasoning if necessary.
If you’re sensitive to heat, start with 1 teaspoon of black pepper and adjust to taste.
The broth can be thickened slightly with a cornstarch and water mixture if desired.
Serve the French dip sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping for an authentic experience.
