Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 pound Deli roast beef
- 4 pieces Hoagie rolls
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- as desired Optional toppings (e.g., banana peppers, arugula)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic. Add both to the saucepan and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, thyme, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the au jus for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven's broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Line the hoagie rolls with provolone cheese slices and place them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the edges of the rolls are toasted, about 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Turn off the heat under the au jus and add the deli roast beef slices directly into the hot liquid. Let the beef warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Using tongs, layer the warm roast beef onto the toasted hoagie rolls. Add any optional toppings at this stage.
Carefully ladle the au jus into small serving bowls for dipping.
Serve the Spicy French Dip sandwiches immediately with the au jus on the side. Enjoy!
