Description
A cozy and filling French dip sandwich made with tender beef, crusty bread, and a savory dipping jus.
Ingredients
Scale
- Deli roast beef or homemade roast beef
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Hoagie rolls or French rolls
- Provolone or Swiss cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter or oil and sauté sliced onions with a pinch of salt until softened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add minced garlic for 30 seconds, then pour in the beef broth.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and black pepper. Add a pinch of dried thyme if desired.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
- For the beef, season the roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear it in a hot pot with a little oil until browned, then cover and cook slowly until tender.
- Let the beef rest before slicing thinly. If using deli beef, warm it in the jus for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Toast the rolls with butter until golden and melted, adding cheese if desired.
- Assemble the sandwich with warm beef and spoon some onions from the jus on top. Serve immediately with hot jus on the side.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a spoonful of beef drippings into the jus if you cooked your own beef. Serve the jus in small mugs for easy dipping.
