Hi FG - a god jus starts with good wine. If you wouldn't drink it, don't use it in cooking....

A jus is made from adding wine / port wine to the cooking pan, reducing and stiring up the crust from cooking, whisking in butter (unsalted) and straining before serving over the meal. A jus is not a gravy, so less is better than too much...

You can make a comparable one from reducing by a third in a seperate pan the wine, then adding diced butter to achieve a good glossy jus, but one from the cooking pan with the residue will be much better.

A port wine sauce, I'd suggest, should not have a red wine in it as they are two different wines and will give different results so personally would say do not mix,

Hoep that is some help..

Hi Nickmo, the jus you descibe sounds great! Do you have a recipe that includes ingredient quanities please?

Am totally sold in jus with good meat now and it is nothing like gravy, you are very right !!

(also agree 100% that the wine must be good - recommend 'chateau neuf du pap 95', awesome in a jus, served with.... yep you guessed it, Springbok!)
