au jus
In natural juices
Au jus means served with the natural juices or gravy from roasted meat: prime rib au jus.
The French phrase literally means "with juice." In American restaurant usage, it often appears redundantly as served with au jus, treating the phrase as a noun for the accompanying sauce itself.
