Let's Cook

1. Step 1.

   Place the roasting pan over medium heat and add: ½ to ¾ cup of any flavorful stock, preferably beef or mushroom

2. Step 2.

   Bring the liquid to a boil and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until all the browned bits are dissolved. Season to taste with: Salt and black pepper

3. Step 3.

   Drizzle the jus over the sliced beef—or use the jus as the basis for (or enhancement of) a more robust sauce. For several options, see About Gravies and Pan Sauces.
