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.

- Reheat sliced beef gently in warmed au jus on low to medium heat until warm before assembling the sandwich.
