Provided by Laurie McNamara

Categories     Mains & Entrees

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 French rolls (sliced horizontally (but not all the way through))
olive oil spray
1 medium yellow onion (halved and sliced thin)
2 teaspoons garlic (dried and granulated)
kosher salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari (or sub with low-sodium soy sauce)
1-1/4 pound roast beef ( or London broil, thinly sliced )
6 slices sharp provolone cheese (cut in half)

Steps:

  • Slice the rolls, but not all the way through so they open like a book. Place them on small sheets of slightly crumpled foil. This helps with clean up but it also holds the sandwiches in place. Then add a 1/2 slice of sharp provolone into the bottom each of roll.
  • Spray the bottom of a large pan with olive oil spray.
  • Add in the onion, granulated garlic and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat the pan on medium, stir and sauté until the onions are soft. About 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Once softened, stir in the worcestershire sauce and transfer to a small bowl. Turning off the heat under the pan.
  • To the same skillet, pour in the broth, tamari and add the roast beef to the lukewarm broth. You don't want the broth to be hot, just warm enough to warm up the roast beef.
  • Use tongs to divide the beef among the rolls. Keep in mind, the au jus on the beef could make the bread soggy, so allow any excess broth to drip off and back into the pan before filling each roll.
  • Keep the au jus warm under low heat.
  • Divide the sautéed onions among the sandwiches and top each with 2 slices (halves) of the provelone. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 4 to 6 minutes, rotate the pan halfway to ensure even melting.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup of au jus into ramekins or small bowls and serve with the sandwiches.

Easy Beef French Dip with Quick au Jus image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

QUICK AND EASY FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

I know this may be sacrilege to some....but sometimes you just need a French Dip and don't have a lot of time. This is where quick and easy supermarkets ingredients come into play....and allows for a French Dip as good as any you'll get in a restaurant. The key to this sandwich is buying sliced rare roast beef, and Johnny's Au Jus Concentrate. This is some amazing stuff. It's found in the condiment section of the grocery store, near the marinades. I'm all for slaving away in the kitchen, but sometimes, it's just not practical. Enjoy!!!
