Enjoy the comforting and flavorful French Dip Sandwiches made with tender roasted beef, savory au jus, and toasted hoagie rolls. This classic recipe features slow-roasted beef seasoned with garlic and onions, perfect for a satisfying meal that’s great for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef roast
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cheese slices (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting the beef.
  2. Season the Beef: Generously season the beef roast with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance its flavor.
  3. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef roast on all sides, creating a flavorful crust.
  4. Sauté Garlic and Onion: Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet, cooking until they soften and release their aromas.
  5. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, which will form the base for the au jus sauce.
  6. Roast the Beef: Cover the skillet or transfer everything to a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.
  7. Slice the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the oven and slice it thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  8. Toast the Rolls: Toast the hoagie rolls lightly to add crunch and warmth to your sandwich.
  9. Assemble Sandwiches: Layer the sliced beef and optional cheese slices inside the toasted hoagie rolls.
  10. Serve with Au Jus: Serve the sandwiches with the flavorful au jus sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef roast in Worcestershire sauce for an hour before cooking.
  • Cheese slices such as provolone or Swiss can enhance the sandwich but are optional.
  • Au jus sauce can be strained to remove solids for a smoother dipping sauce.
  • Leftover beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a sharp knife for thin slices to ensure tender bites.
