I made som eground beef and decided to store the juices in a glass jar which I then refridgerated. Is there a generic label for this "BEEF JUICE"? I haven't found anything on the net. I would like to find out what nutritional properties it has and so include it in the diet as opposed to tossing it out. ANyone know any sources or what this substance is conventionally named?

	A didn't have a name for it, but I usually leave it in the pan and cook breakfast in it in the morning. – Ebice Mar 18 2011 at 6:32
	sorry but that sounds gross. beef juice shouldn't be left out like that. ghee in the pan, cool. coconut oil. sweet. beef juice. napes. – Jack Kronk Mar 18 2011 at 16:48

	I think I'll have some............. – DudleyP Mar 17 2011 at 20:43
	Thanks. I searched the net for "au jus" for nutritional info and there was a claim made by a random site that several hundred mg.s of sodium were contained in it. Where can I get nutritional info on this? Not much popped up. – PersonMan Mar 17 2011 at 20:51
	I don't know, but of course anything commercially prepared will have a lot of sodium. I can't imagine that there was enough au jus produced to track the nutrition data? But if I were trying to do that then I would probably use beef stock as the closest choice available. Again being aware that nutrition tracking websites will probably use a commercially prepared beef stock as their example. It won't be exact since you weren't cooking bones down for stock, but might be close enough. – texasleah Mar 17 2011 at 21:20

It's called beef juice.

Is there a reason why the juices didn't stay with the ground beef?

I was frying it in a pan on lowish heat and the juices kept coming off. I suppose this wasn' the proper way to cook beef for maximal retention of nutrients/ killing off bacteria and hormones? So it is called BEEF JUICE after all. Thanks. – PersonMan Mar 17 2011 at 20:27

Just a variety of protein in it I presume? But it sure tasted like a lot of fats were contained in it also as I consumed some experimentally. – PersonMan Mar 17 2011 at 20:28

	I heard from someone that it is called "beef drippings" in a different vernacular... that sounds about right. Anyone know what the nutritional profile is for the "drippings"? – PersonMan Mar 18 2011 at 1:40
