French Dip Pastrami Sandwich Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with sautéing thickly sliced mushrooms seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper until golden. Beef broth is then boiled in the same pan to extract mushroom flavors and reduced to create a rich au jus dipping sauce. Hoagie rolls are lightly toasted in butter, providing a crispy, buttery base. Piles of sliced pastrami are added to the rolls along with provolone cheese and the cooked mushrooms. The sandwiches are baked briefly at high heat until the cheese melts and the meat is heated through, resulting in a hot, cheesy, and meaty sandwich.
Serving the sandwich with an individual ramekin of the warm au jus invites dipping each bite, adding moistness and enhancing the savory flavors. This sandwich works well as a hearty meal accompanied by a simple side salad or chips.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pastrami sliced, beef deli meat
- 4 hoagie roll
- 8 lices provolone cheese shredded, or 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 lb mushroom about 10-12, thickly sliced
- garlic salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Saute Mushrooms until golden and soft. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside. In the same skillet (without cleaning it), add 1 1/2 cups beef broth and boil for a few minutes to reduce slightly. Season broth to taste (you want it to be flavorful for use as a dip) then remove from heat - this broth is your "au jus" dipping sauce.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter and when butter is done sizzling, Saute the cut side of the rolls just until golden. Divide the pastrami meat evenly among the four sandwiches. Top with cheese and mushrooms.
- Bake at 450 for 4-5 minutes or until cheese melts and meat is hot.
- Serve each sandwich with an individual ramekin of AuJus – Dip with every bite.
