  • Step 10

    Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes.

  • Step 11

    For the Beef Au Jus: Place the roasting pan over medium heat and deglaze with 2 cups beef stock. Using a wooden spoon scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

  • Step 12

    Strain the jus into a small saucepan discarding the solids and skim off any fat that rises to the top. Taste and simmer over medium heat to reduce if needed (if the jus tastes a little weak, reducing will concentrate the flavor). Taste the jus for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed. Rewarm before serving.

    Ingredients
    • As Needed salt

    • As Needed pepper

  • Step 13

    Carve the roast into thick slices and serve with the beef au jus. Enjoy!
