FRENCH DIP BEEF SANDWICHES



French Dip Beef Sandwiches image

Philippe The Original, home of the French dip beef sandwich, is a Los Angeles institution that has been in operation since 1908. To create her version their classic sandwich at home, Claire uses flavorful chuck roast, which she sears in a hot oven, then cooks low and slow until tender and perfectly rare. Sliced thin, piled high on crusty buttered rolls and dipped in flavorful "jus," this dish is truly unforgettable.

Time 3h45m

Yield 12 to 16 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 8-pound beef chuck roast
Compound Butter, recipe follows
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
2 large carrots, peeled and quartered
5 cloves garlic, peeled
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
12 to 16 French sandwich rolls, warmed and split
Unsalted butter, for serving
Horseradish sauce, for serving
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Let the chuck roast sit out at room temperature for at least 1 and up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Using paper towels, pat the roast completely dry. Spread the compound butter mixture all over the entire roast.
  • Place the onions, carrots, garlic, thyme and rosemary in the bottom of a large roasting pan and place the roast on top.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Continue roasting until a meat thermometer registers 120 degrees F, about 2 hours. Remove the roast from the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and drain off the juices that have accumulated in the pan to serve as the "jus."
  • Spread some butter on one side of the sandwich rolls and horseradish sauce on the other side. Drizzle some of the reserved jus on the inside of each roll.
  • Thinly slice the beef and add about 1/2 pound (8 ounces) to each roll. Slice each sandwich in half on a diagonal and serve with the jus.
  • In a small bowl combine the butter, herbs, garlic, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, garlic powder, cloves and nutmeg and mix well to form a thick paste.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Two 12-inch French bread rolls, halved and split
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup cornichons, finely chopped
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
3 cups Beef Bourguignon, roughly chopped, recipe follows
4 leaves romaine lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh parsley, plus extra leaves for garnish
1 sprig fresh rosemary
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 pounds stew beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional as needed
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
4 carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine
One 14.5-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth
One 16-ounce bag frozen pearl onions, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the rolls in the oven to crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the mayonnaise, cornichons, Dijon and tarragon together in a small bowl. Lay out the bread, cut-side up, and spread with the mayonnaise mixture.
  • Make sandwiches with the beef, lettuce and tomato.
  • For the bouquet garni: Wrap the herbs in cheesecloth and secure with butcher's twine, leaving about 6 inches of excess string. Set aside.
  • For the beef bourguignon: Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned but not fully rendered, 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Season the beef well with salt and pepper, then toss it in the flour to coat, shaking off the excess flour. Add the oil to the Dutch oven, heat until shimmering, and then brown the beef in batches. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the browned pieces to a large bowl.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes. If the pan looks dry, add more olive oil. Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan, add the onions and cook until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Season again with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Carefully tie the bouquet garni to the handle of the pot and drop the bouquet into the vegetables (or simply toss the whole bouquet into the pot). Add the carrots and tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the red wine, increase the heat, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring up the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth and 1 cup water and return the meat and bacon to the pan. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Add the pearl onions to the pot and cook, partially covered, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, 1 hour more. Remove the bouquet garni. Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley leaves to serve.

FRENCH DIPPED SANDWICHES



French Dipped Sandwiches image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 small carrot, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 small leek, white and light-green parts only, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 pounds beef top round roast
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups beef broth
6 French rolls
Hot mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Combine the chopped vegetables, garlic and thyme in a large roasting pan. Rub the dried herbs and spices all over the beef; season generously with salt and pepper. Place the beef fat-side up on the vegetables and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130, about 45 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, put the roasting pan on the stove and cook the vegetables over high heat until they are browned but not burnt and the liquid has evaporated; pour off any excess fat. Add the beef broth to the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits that cling to the bottom. Transfer the liquid and vegetables to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 30 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Trim any excess fat from the beef and thinly slice. Halve the rolls horizontally and warm in the oven. Dip the bottom of each roll in the sauce and top with some of the beef; dip the cut side of each roll top in the sauce and place on each sandwich. Serve with the hot mustard.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for cuts that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Slice the meat against the grain for more tender sandwiches. This will help break down the muscle fibers and make the meat easier to chew.
  • Use a good quality bread for the sandwiches. A crusty bread, such as a baguette or ciabatta, will hold up well to the dipping sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the au jus. The au jus is what makes the French dip sandwich so special. Make sure to make plenty of it and keep it warm while you're assembling the sandwiches.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for French dip sandwiches include cheese, caramelized onions, and horseradish.

Conclusion:

French dip sandwiches are a classic comfort food that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give French dip sandwiches a try.
