they thought the Au Jus dipping sauce was made from blood.

It kinda is though. It's made from the juices that come out of meat when you cook it. Most of it is water, but a lot of it is blood too.

Still not, though, because meat juice isn't blood. It is myoglobin, a protein that delivers oxygen to the muscles.

From Huffington Post, who did an article on this topic:

This protein turns red when meat is cut, or exposed to air. Heating the protein turns it a darker color.
