A French dip sandwich, also known as a beef dip, is a hot sandwich consisting of thinly sliced roast beef (or, sometimes, other meats) on a "French roll" or baguette. It is usually served au jus ("with juice"), that is, with beef juice from the cooking process. Beef broth or beef consomme is sometimes substituted. (from wiki)
So cook the beef yourself or by any beef stock - Knorr, Oxo, Bovril, .....

Ok Prudie I know there's many alternatives its just that when I was in th US I got a real liking for au jus and I hoped it was available here

[boxtops]

Is "au jus" a trade name in the US then? To me it just means "with juice" in French.

[Prudie]

That's what I think 'au jus' means too boxy.
Fezzy I rarely disappear. I've been here all evening just don't often have much to offer.

here's an American recipe for French dip sandwiches-and the accompanying au jus

not quite the same as what you get when you roast a prime rib.

Pasta, your link leads to this definition - which is was I thought http://www.foodterms....dia/au-jus/index.html

Au jus means "with meat juice" - so I don't understand why people are saying "with au jus", it doesn't make sense!

[boxtops]

and "sans jus" - no gravy - not "without sans jus"

This is getting silly now ;-)

[boxtops]

LOL - the power of lateral jus

It's like paninis. Panini is the plural of panino, so why the redundant "s"?
