SLOW COOKER AU JUS POT ROAST
I've never found a recipe I really liked for a savory, au jus-style pot roast without mushy veggies and a weird sweetness. So after some experimenting, this is the way I make it every time now. The tomato sauce disappears and will not make a tomato-flavored gravy. Quick and easy. The roast size and cut can vary, and it will still turn out great. Good for those who don't like onions, although they can be added if you like. I love to make homemade mashed potatoes and dill carrot slices for sides. Cook roast on top of sliced onion rings if desired.

Tips:
- To make sure the beef is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The beef is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make beef au jus in a Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours.
- To make a thicker au jus, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the slow cooker towards the end of the cooking time. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the au jus has thickened.
- Serve the beef au jus with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. You can also add a side of vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, or green beans.
Conclusion:
Beef au jus is a classic dish that is easy to make in a slow cooker. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful meal that the whole family will enjoy. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
