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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting the beef.
- Season the Beef: Generously season the beef roast with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance its flavor.
- Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef roast on all sides, creating a flavorful crust.
- Sauté Garlic and Onion: Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet, cooking until they soften and release their aromas.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, which will form the base for the au jus sauce.
- 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.
- Slice the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the oven and slice it thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Toast the Rolls: Toast the hoagie rolls lightly to add crunch and warmth to your sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer the sliced beef and optional cheese slices inside the toasted hoagie rolls.
- 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.
