Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 hoagie rolls, split
- 4 slices sliced provolone cheese
- 1 pound deli-sliced roast beef
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and stir in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes to reduce slightly and enhance the flavors. This will be your Au Jus.
While the Au Jus simmers, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet and lightly toast them in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly crisp.
Divide the roast beef evenly among the toasted hoagie rolls and top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
Return the sandwiches to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Strain the Au Jus through a fine mesh sieve to remove the onions and other solids, leaving a smooth dipping sauce.
Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of Au Jus on the side for dipping.
