Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
  • 4 French rolls
  • 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, heat the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. While the broth simmers, split the French rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Warm them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until they are slightly toasted.
  5. Layer the roast beef, caramelized onions, and cheese slices on the bottom half of each roll. Place the sandwiches back in the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the beef is heated through.
  6. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and assemble them by placing the top half of the rolls on the meat and cheese.
  7. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve them with small bowls of the warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

Feel free to customize your sandwich by adding condiments like mustard or mayonnaise if desired. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or roasted peppers. The warm au jus is essential for dipping and intensifying the flavors so don’t skip out on that! Serve your French Dip Sandwiches with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad and enjoy.
