Beef Au Jus is a classic French dish that is perfect for any special occasion. This savory dish is made with tender beef and a rich, flavorful sauce that is sure to impress your guests. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 pounds beef chuck roast

- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth and red wine and bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot and cover with a lid. Transfer the pot to the oven and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside to rest. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve and return it to the pot. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Slice the beef and serve it with the sauce. This dish is perfect with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
