THE FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475°.
• Sprinkle ground black pepper all over the roast, pressing it into the meat as much as possible.
• Place roast in a small roasting pan, and add 1 cup of beef stock.
• Cook for 35 minutes, then lower temperature to 400° and cook 40 minutes.
• Take roast out of the oven (do not turn off the oven) and pour the 1 1/2 cups cold beef stock into the bottom of the pan.
• Let stand 15-20 minutes.
• Add garlic juice to the broth in the bottom of the pan, and return roast to oven.
• Roast until meat reaches the desired degree of doneness for rare or medium (use a meat thermometer to test).
• Some like their beef well done while other prefer medium-rare to medium.
• Remove pan from oven and transfer roast to a platter or carving board; let cool slightly before carving.
• Transfer the pan drippings to a small, wide pan and keep it warm over low heat.
• Cut the rolls open horizontally; if desired, remove some of the bread from the inside, creating a pocket to hold the beef.
• Slice the beef as thinly as possible.
• Dip rolls quickly into the au jus (drippings), fill generously with sliced beef, and serve right away.
