Time 7h51m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
9 tablespoons water
¼ cup dry vermouth
2 ½ cups beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 pounds rump roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 French rolls, split
1 (6 ounce) package grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large, deep pot. Add onions and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until onions start to brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Stir sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the onions in the pot. Continue to cook, stirring once halfway through, until onions are well-browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons of water into the pot, scraping bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 3 minutes; repeat with an additional 3 tablespoons water. Simmer for 3 minutes more and repeat. Add vermouth; scrape bits from the bottom and sides of the pot. Cook for 4 minutes more. Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Add black pepper. Discard bay leaf. Remove pot from heat and allow soup to cool. Pour into the slow cooker, but don't turn it on.
  • Trim any excess fat from the rump roast. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pot over high heat. Cook the meat, holding it down with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat carefully to the slow cooker. Spoon the soup over the meat so that it is topped with a few onions. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours.
  • Remove meat from the slow cooker. Slice it diagonally and return slices to the slow cooker. Continue to cook on Low for 2 hours more.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread rolls with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; place face-down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip, and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil rolls until cheese is slightly bubbly and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove meat from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Place on the rolls. Serve soup on the side for dipping.

FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES



French Dip Sandwiches image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 jigger dry sherry, optional
2 cans beef consomme, found on broth and soups aisle or beef broth
1 1/2 pounds deli sliced roast beef
Grill seasoning blend for steak, such as Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend, or, coarse salt and pepper
4 torpedo sandwich rolls, split

Steps:

  • In a large, shallow skillet over moderate heat, melt butter. Add shallots to butter and saute 2 minutes. Add flour to butter and shallot and cook a minute longer. Whisk in sherry and cook liquid out. Whisk in consomme in a slow stream. Bring sauce to a bubble and allow to simmer over low heat until ready to serve sandwiches.
  • Pile meat loosely across your cutting board or a large work surface. Season meat with grill seasoning or salt and black pepper. Set out 4 ramekins or small soup cups for dipping sauce, 4 dinner plates and 4 split torpedo rolls. To assemble, using a pair of kitchen tongs, dip meat into loose au jus sauce and pile into rolls. Set ramekins or cups with extra dipping sauce along side the sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the bread and the beef. Fresh, crusty bread will hold up better to the au jus and the beef should be well-marbled and flavorful.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. Sourdough, rye, and even pretzel buns can all make for delicious French dip sandwiches.
  • Make sure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness before slicing it. Medium-rare is a good option for a tender and juicy sandwich.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
  • Simmer the au jus for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. You can also add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with plenty of au jus for dipping.

Conclusion:

The French dip sandwich is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. With its tender beef, caramelized onions, and flavorful au jus, it's sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy sandwich recipe, give this one a try.
