The name was taken from the Rowan tree. -- Kae Kae 6/9/2005. For boys, Rowan is used with the Gaelic little red one meaning and origin behind it. For girls, though, the name came into use because of the tree, and is not in relation to the Gaelic background and English male name, Rowan.he name Rowan is derived from the Old Norse name for the tree, raun or rogn. Linguists believe that the Norse name is ultimately derived from a proto-Germanic word *raudnian meaning getting red and which referred to the red foliage and red berries in the autumn.

Au jus is generally -- but not always -- unthickened, which is what distinguishes it from a pan gravy. Methods vary for creating au jus for such dishes as roast rib of beef -- sometimes called prime rib. There are a number of alternative au jus recipes, such as this classic method.
What I did like was the au jus; it had a good beef flavor (more so than the actual beef sadly) and was not too salty. Without it, Arby's French Dip & Swiss Toasted Sub is really just too plain. But for $2, I'd still get Arby's French Dip & Swiss Toasted Sub, if only for the aus jus (yes, I am well aware I'm saying the with juice). I wonder if you can just get the aus jus with one of their other sandwiches...
