Au Jus

Calories: Who cares Servings: Not enough Cook Time: Too damn long! Dish: Breakfast, lunch or dinner, sandwiches are good any time.

Ingredients:

A beef joint to roast – I used silverside
Olive oil
Dried oregano
Black pepper
Smoked salt
A white onion
Bread rolls
Swiss cheese
A tin of beef consommé
(Because I am a filthy cheat)

Method:

Cover the beef in a little olive oil, then season well with dried oregano, black pepper and smoked salt.

Chop a white onion, and place in the bottom of a cast iron skillet (or roasting tin if you don’t have a skillet) — toss in a little olive oil. Place the beef on top and roast to your liking. I like it rare.

Once the beef is cooked, cover in foil and place on a warm plate for 15 minutes. Take the skillet, with all the beef juices and onion, and out it on a high heat. Add the beef consommé and reduce by half. Add a little soy sauce to taste. Separate the onion and pour the jus into a small bowl.

Toast the bread rolls, add a few slices of Swiss cheese and the onion (if you like). Slice the beef thinly, add to the roll. Dip it in the jus and EAT IT.
