Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Start by pouring the meat juices into a bowl through a very fine strainer to remove any bits.

Stage 2 - 3 hours

Leave the juices to cool at room temperature for an hour, which will allow the fat to rise to the top gradually.

Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

After being cooled like this, you can remove the solidified fat from the top with a spoon.

Stage 4

The juices left underneath will have set into a kind of jelly.

Stage 5

This jelly is easy to melt back into a "jus" that can be used in many recipes, such as a light sauce for pasta or rice.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
