Thinly sliced roast beef is warmed in a rich beef consommé broth, layered with provolone cheese on hoagie rolls, then baked until the cheese melts. Served with warm jus for dipping, these sandwiches are a family favorite.
Ingredients
Sandwiches
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Au Jus (Dipping Broth)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consommé
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for melting the cheese on your sandwiches.
- Prepare the Hoagie Rolls: Open the hoagie rolls lengthwise and lay them flat on a baking sheet to be ready for assembling the sandwiches.
- Make the Au Jus: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the beef consommé and water. Heat until warm to create a rich beef broth that will be used for dipping.
- Warm Roast Beef: Place the thinly sliced deli roast beef into the warm broth and let it heat through for about 3 minutes to enhance flavor and warmth.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Remove the roast beef from the broth and layer it evenly on the hoagie rolls. Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the sandwiches in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the provolone cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches hot alongside small bowls of the warm beef broth for dipping, creating the classic French dip experience.
Notes
- For a crispier sandwich, you can toast the rolls briefly before assembling.
- Use good quality deli roast beef for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a stronger broth flavor, reduce the water slightly.
- Leftover au jus can be refrigerated and used within 3 days.
