FRENCH ONION BEEF AU JUS
This is a fabulous recipe for an open faced French Onion Beef Au Jus sandwich. This is truly a knife-and-fork sandwich. I have made this countless times, and have no idea where I got the original recipe, or why I have never posted it here. It can be made in the oven, or crockpot. I have made it both ways, depending on how much time I have, and really notice no difference. One little tip I can share, is when you are toasting your bread in the oven, slice a small sliver off the bottom (round side) of the bread to make a flatter surface, that way when you pile on the beef, onion, and cheese the sandwich won't tip over when you put it back in the oven to melt the cheese. (it keeps it from being top-heavy).

ROAST BEEF AU JUS
This recipe was given to me 35 years ago as a beef romanoff dish. The dish required sour cream and cooked noodles added to the gravy. It was delicious but not my family's favorite dish. I adjusted the recipe to suit my family's taste by eliminating the sour cream and noodles and by slicing the roast very thin, placing the meat inside a hot yeast roll, serving with a small dish of gravy for dipping. After serving this to my son-in-law 16 years ago, this dish has become one of his favorite request when he visits. This meal is sliced roast beef in a large hot yeast roll served with the gravy for dipping. The gravy will not be thick.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a chuck roast or bottom round roast for a tender and flavorful result.
- Brown the Beef Properly: Browning the beef adds depth of flavor to the dish. Ensure you brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a Good Quality Onion: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for this recipe. They provide a sweet and savory flavor to the dish.
- Deglaze the Pan with Red Wine: Red wine adds a rich and complex flavor to the au jus. Don't skip this step!
- Simmer the Beef Slowly: Allow the beef to simmer for at least 2 hours or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you simmer it, the better the flavor will be.
- Make a Roux for a Thicker Au Jus: If you prefer a thicker au jus, make a roux by whisking together equal parts flour and butter. Add it to the simmering beef mixture and cook until thickened.
- Season to Taste: Don't forget to season the au jus with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
