Picture juicy beef on toasty rolls dipped into a deliciously beefy au jus sauce/broth. You can use either freshly roasted beef or leftover roast beef in this recipe.
Handy hint one: You could substitute balsamic vinegar/glaze, soy sauce, mustard of your choice, kecap manis or a little chilli sauce for the Worcestershire sauce in this recipe.
Handy hint two: If I am using a freshly roasted piece of beef for these rolls, then I will pour any pan drippings from the roasting process into the au jus beef stock to be used in the recipe. Please feel free to use either homemade beef stock or stock cubes. If you are using stock cubes, don’t add salt to the au jus because stock cubes can be a little salty.
