"Au Jus" literally means "with juice."

It refers to the juices in a pan from cooking meat, served as they are with the meat, as opposed to being made into gravy.

The "jus" may have been flavoured from any herbs, etc, that were cooked with the meat.

The most common occurrence of "jus" being served with meat occurs when the meat is beef.
