This 9 oz bottle brings McCormick spices, celery, and garlic together in a ready-to-mix formula designed to deepen the savory profile of beef and pork dishes.

The recipe is simple: mix the powder with water and heat until thickened, giving you consistent results for everyday meals or special-occasion roasts.

How quickly can I make au jus with this mix?

Prepare a serving of au jus in under five minutes — just combine the mix with water and bring it to a boil. The mix is engineered to hydrate evenly so you get a smooth, pourable gravy without vigorous whisking or long reductions.

• Whisk one package or measured amount into 3 cups of water.
• Bring to a boil, stirring until sauce thickens.
• Serves as a sauce, dip, or base for other recipes.

What dishes benefit most from McCormick Au Jus?

This au jus complements roast beef and pork, and is ideal for French dip and other sandwiches where a savory dipping sauce is desired. It can also be added to slow-cooker recipes or used to boost the flavor of soups like French onion or beef stew.

• French dip sandwiches and hot beef sandwiches.
• Prime rib, roast pork, pit beef and carving platters.
• Savory soups, stews, and braised dishes as a flavor base.

How do the ingredients affect flavor and versatility?

Blended spices, celery, and garlic provide a savory backbone that highlights roasted meats without overpowering them. Because the mix is neutral and beef-forward, it’s an adaptable pantry ingredient you can tweak with fresh herbs, wine, or pan drippings for more complexity.

• Celery and garlic add aromatic depth to the gravy.
• Neutral beef seasoning works well with added pan drippings.
• Mixes cleanly into liquids for sauces, soups, and braises.

Can I customize the au jus for entertaining?

Yes — the mix serves as a reliable base that you can enrich to match the menu. Stir in reserved roast juices, sautéed onions, a splash of red wine, or fresh herbs to scale the intensity and tailor the sauce to your guests.

• Add pan drippings or browned onions for fuller flavor.
• Finish with wine, Worcestershire, or fresh thyme if desired.
• Make larger batches for buffet-style serving or dipping stations.

Who is this for? Home cooks and entertainers who want a dependable, easy-to-prepare brown gravy that enhances beef and pork dishes will appreciate McCormick Au Jus Gravy Mix. It’s useful for weeknight dinners that need fast flavor, small gatherings where a dipping sauce elevates sandwiches, and holiday roasts where consistent, savory au jus is expected.
