Place medium saucepan on stovetop over high heat. When saucepan is warm, add 4 tablespoons beef drippings, 4 tablespoons red wine, 2 cups low-sodium beef broth, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

Whisk ingredients together until incorporated, then bring mixture to boil. Once mixture begins to boil, reduce heat under saucepan to medium-low. Simmer mixture 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, taste mixture and add salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. When satisfied with flavor, transfer jus into serving container. Note: if your drippings contained any remnants from the beef, strain the jus through a fine mesh sieve first, so you're left with a smooth liquid.

Serve warm with prime rib, French dip sandwiches, roast beef, or other meal as desired.
