Cooking juices that collect during the roasting, baking, or braising of meats, or those that end up on a board or platter of grilled meats often make the best sauce for the meats once the fats have been removed. However, the term on menus is still âau jusâ (meaning âwith the juicesâ), and is a term often quite comically pronounced by culinary students and cooks as âajooââalmost like a sneeze. Perhaps âserved with its cooking juicesâ will do.
