This homemade beef Au Jus Gravy Mix is a great staple to have on hand. Stop buying those store-bought packets because this recipe is just as easy and only requires a few basic pantry ingredients like; beef bouillon powder, cornstarch and a few dried herb and spices! Yields 3 ounces which is equivalent to 3 (1-ounce) packets.
Did you know you can make homemade beef au jus gravy mix?
This DIY mix is a staple in my home because it’s SO easy and when made, it tastes incredible. 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 Make This Au Jus Gravy Mix You Will Need:
- 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 Homemade Au Jus Gravy Mix Last?
If stored properly, the beef au jus gravy mix will last up to 6 months.
This recipe 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 Homemade Beef Au Jus:
Measure and add 1 ounce (4-1/2 teaspoons) of the homemade 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.
