French Dip Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by heating flavorful au jus in a saucepan. Roast beef is sliced thickly, either pre-cooked or freshly sliced with a sharp knife or slicer. If the beef is cold, it is warmed gently in the hot au jus to maintain juiciness. French rolls are dipped briefly in the au jus to soak up flavor before assembling the sandwich.
The sandwich is constructed by stacking warm slices of roast beef on the soaked rolls, and adding provolone cheese and condiments such as spicy mustard, pickles, and hot peppers. The mixture of the tender beef and dipping sauce creates a satisfying savory meal with layers of taste and texture.
The recipe also notes that all ingredients can be prepared separately and assembled up to three days ahead, with storage and reheating tips to maintain freshness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Au Jus
- 2 pounds roast beef thickly sliced, cooked, hot
- 4 French roll
- 4 lices provolone cheese
- pickles for garnish
- hot peppers for garnish
- mustard spicy, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating the au jus in a saucepan over low to medium heat until hot.
- If you are slicing the roast beef yourself, you can use a sharp knife, a mandolin, or a meat slicer. I prefer the roast beef to be thickly sliced for this sandwich.
- The sliced beef should be warm before serving. However, if it is cold, then you will want to add some slices to the hot au jus to heat it up until warm.
- Dip the bottom part of the French roll into the hot au jus
- Next, drop the top sliced part of the French into the au jus.
- Stack several slices of the hot beef onto the sandwich. At this point, you can also add on your condiments, sauce, or cheeses.
- Slice the sandwich and serve with assorted toppings, cheeses, sauces, and hot au jus.
Notes
- Prepare sandwich ingredients separately and store covered up to 3 days before assembling.
- Store bread and buns wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; freezing is not recommended for bread components.
- Reheat sliced beef gently in warmed au jus on low to medium heat until warm before assembling the sandwich.
