Wait until it says HOT (takes roughly 8 minutes).

Add in the reserved onions, then let the Au Jus sauce reduce for 5 – 10 minutes.

Taste & adjust seasoning accordingly.

*Pro Tip: Reducing the Au Jus sauce will naturally thicken it. If you find the Au Jus sauce to be too oily, you can use a Fat Separator to filter out the fat.
