Instructions

1
If using the tenderloin roasting pan, pour off excess fat but leave the browned bits. Set the pan over medium heat, or transfer the drippings to a saucepan.
2
Add the red wine, if using, and scrape up the browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
3
Add the beef broth, Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic, pepper, and any thyme or Dijon.
4
Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes. Do not boil aggressively; the goal is a clean, beefy jus.
5
Taste before adding salt. Strain for a smooth finish. Whisk in the cold butter off heat, if desired, and serve hot.
