If using the blender or food processor, allow the dust to settle for a few minutes before opening the work bowl or carafe. Transfer the powdered au jus gravy mix to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place.
One ounce of the finished mix is approximately 4 ½ teaspoons and is equivalent to one packet of McCormick Spice's au jus gravy mix.
To make au jus gravy, whisk 4 ½ teaspoons into 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. To make next level au jus gravy with your mix, use 1 ¾ cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of red wine, plus 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire or Soy Sauce instead of 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If using the red wine and Worcestershire or soy sauce, simmer for closer to 15 minutes to remove the raw taste from the wine.
