Categories     comfort food     dinner     main dish     meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 boneless ribeye loin or sirloin (about 4 to 5 pounds)
1 tbsp. kosher salt
2 tbsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground oregano
1/2 tsp. ground thyme
2 whole large onions, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole packet French onion soup mix (dry)
1 can beef consomme
1 c. beef broth or beef stock
1/4 c. dry sherry or white wine (optional)
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 c. water
10 whole crusty deli rolls or sub rolls, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475˚ degrees. Tie the piece of meat tightly with a couple of pieces of kitchen twine.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the surface of the beef. Place the beef on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and roast it to medium-rare, about 20 to 25 minutes, until it registers 125˚ degrees on a meat thermometer. (If you want it less pink, go to 135˚.) Remove the meat to a cutting board and cover it with foil.
  • Place the roasting pan on the stovetop burner over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until they are soft and golden. Sprinkle in the soup mix, then pour in the consomme, broth, sherry, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop the flavors. Add more water if it starts to evaporate too much. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and reserve both the liquid and the onions.
  • Slice the beef very thin. Pile the beef and caramelized onions on the toasted rolls, then serve with a side of jus.

SHREDDED FRENCH-DIP SANDWICHES



Shredded French-Dip Sandwiches image

This makes some of the best hot sandwiches. Delicious, deeply flavored beef with rich aujus for dipping. Put it together in the morning and come home to a great meal! We like it with a green salad and some chips on the side. I'm not sure where this came from- maybe the food network or some magazine. The left-overs(if there are any) freeze well. Thaw, thicken the aujus and add any remaining meat and serve over rice or noodles.

Tips:
