Unlike so many other reviewers, mine was NOT too salty, so maybe you just need to be careful about the sodium content of the bouillon you use. I thinly sliced some leftover eye of round roast and put it it with the au jus, and heated it through for sandwiches -- OMG!! -- fantastic! The meat gave just enough real meat flavor to send the au jus over the top.

this was a good starting point, but i omitted the soy and added a few drops of browning liquid instead. in addition to the garlic powder, i added dashes of onion powder, smoked paprika and some dried parsley. finished it off with some fresh ground pepper and a little bit of butter and i had myself a decent faux jus.
