This Carnivore Au Jus is the ultimate savory sidekick—simple, bold, and deeply satisfying. Designed with the meat lover in mind, it’s made with pure beef essence, rendered fat, and bone broth to draw out all the robust, umami flavors you crave. Whether you're drizzling it over a perfectly cooked ribeye, using it as a dip for a French dip-style roast, or just sipping it straight for a warm, comforting boost—this sauce delivers pure carnivore magic.
Flexible and fast, this recipe skips the flour and thickeners typical of traditional gravies, keeping things gut-friendly and primal. The result? A nutrient-dense, deeply flavorful au jus that tastes like it simmered all day—without actually doing so.

If using pan drippings, you also get concentrated beefy flavor and trace minerals
Water

Sea Salt
Essential for electrolyte balance, especially on low-carb or carnivore diets
