GGIYF. Where did you dig that up? The coulis au jus you're asking
about is called gravy today. A modern day coulis is made with
vegetables if it's intended to be used with meat, but we mainly think
of it as a fruit sauce.

Better questions would have been:

1. What is the difference between béchamel and velouté?
2. What is the difference between coulis au jus and demi glace?

Still trying to work out what GGIYF means. I've always called gravy gravy,
its chefs using poncey french culinary words that started calling it coulis.

My answer would be; bechamel is a sauce, veloute is a smooth (blended) soup.
At least that's what it has been on UK Masterchef.

You've told me the first, but I don't know the other. You will have to tell
me.
