Homemade Roast Beef Sandwich Au Jus image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium beef stock
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic
2 cups thinly sliced radishes (about 8 ounces)
4 crusty hoagie rolls
1 pound Homemade Roast Beef, thinly sliced, recipe follows
8 thick slices gruyere
Watercress, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-pound boneless beef eye round roast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the au jus: Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peppercorns, salt, thyme, garlic, rosemary and shallots. Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer, a few minutes. Add the stock and simmer, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid. Keep warm.
  • For the pickled radishes: Simmer 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, star anise, bay leaf and garlic. After 10 minutes of simmering, pour the mixture over the radishes in a heat-proof container and cool.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Place the sliced Homemade Roast Beef on the bottom. Top with 1 slice gruyere each, some pickled radishes and watercress. Cover with the tops of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half, dunk into the au jus and realize sometimes leftovers are just better.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the roast, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Wipe off the excess garlic and herbs and add the roast to the pan. Sear the roast on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

Tips for Making Perfect Shredded Beef Au Jus:

- Chuck roast is a commonly recommended cut for shredded beef because it becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly. - Season the beef generously with salt and pepper before searing to enhance its flavor. - Sear the beef in a hot skillet until browned on all sides to develop a flavorful crust. - Use a slow cooker or braising pan to cook the beef in the au jus liquid for several hours until it becomes tender and easily shredded. - Add vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery to the pot for added flavor and nutrition. - For a richer au jus sauce, use beef broth instead of water and add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. - If the au jus sauce is too thin, thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry made from equal parts cornstarch and water. - Serve the shredded beef with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and spoon the au jus sauce over the top.

Conclusion:

Shredded beef au jus is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a hearty meal. With its tender, flavorful beef and rich au jus sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. By following these tips, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying shredded beef au jus at home.
