Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 sub rolls, hinged
1 quart beef broth, warmed
1 1/2 pounds very rare deli-shaved roast beef
Creamy horseradish sauce and giardiniera, for serving

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.

I created this because so many French dip recipes seem bland or rely on a mix. The sandwich and au jus is simple to make and tastes better than a restaurant version. -Lindsay Ebert, Orem, Utah

FRENCH DIP AU JUS

French Dip Au Jus image

A delicious dip for your french dip sandwiches. Better Than Bouillon is a brand of soup base its more of a paste.It's found with the bouillon. Just look for a soup base that lists beef as the first ingredient. I do not generally use the granules because we do not care for the flavor as much but you can use them.I would start with 1 tbs. of granules because of the salt content. If you could not find the Better Than Bouillon or a soup base product you could also use a canned beef broth or stock.
