To Make Au Jus Gravy:
To make au jus gravy, whisk 4 1/2 teaspoons into 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. To make next level au jus gravy with your mix, use 1 3/4 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of red wine, plus 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire or Soy Sauce instead of 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If using the red wine and Worcestershire or soy sauce, simmer for closer to 15 minutes to remove the raw taste from the wine.
