Best 4 Dees Philly French Dip Recipes

EASY BEEF FRENCH DIP WITH QUICK AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter; when the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and start to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Place the rolls cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Liberally brush the rolls with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside for assembling.
• To the pot with the mushrooms, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer an additional minute. Turn the heat off, then add the roast beef to the pot, quickly removing when just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of creamy horseradish, to taste, on both sides of the rolls. Add a layer of beef on the bottom halves of each roll, then top with a spoonful of mushrooms along with some of the jus. Top with giardiniera to taste. Transfer the remaining jus to dipping bowls and serve on the side.

FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Pulse the scallions, thyme, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, the celery seeds and allspice in a food processor to make a paste. Pierce the roast all over with a paring knife; rub the spice paste into the meat. Tie the roast with kitchen twine so it keeps its shape.
• Spread the carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker and set the roast on top. Insert an instant-read thermometer at an angle into the center of the roast; position the thermometer so it can be easily read through the lid of the slow cooker.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups water, the Worcestershire sauce and bouillon cube in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until hot, 2 to 4 minutes. Add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the meat registers 120 to 130 degrees F for medium rare, about 2 hours. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover with foil; let rest 15 minutes. Skim off the excess fat from the cooking liquid.
• Remove the twine and slice the meat very thinly. Spoon some cooking liquid onto the cut sides of each roll; sandwich with the meat, horseradish and/or mustard. Serve with more cooking liquid for dipping.
