[dish name] + au jus

用法筆記

Au jus is a French phrase meaning 'with juice.' In English, it always follows the noun it describes — for example, you say 'roast beef au jus,' never 'au jus roast beef.' The word jus on its own never means 'with sauce'; the au is essential for this meaning.

常見錯誤

Au jus always comes after the dish name.
The waiter brought me a bowl of au jus.
The waiter brought me a bowl of jus for dipping.
Au jus is a serving description, not the name of the sauce itself.
