Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 450 grams Roast beef
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 500 milliliters Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into four equal portions, then cut each section lengthwise to create sandwich rolls.
In a medium pot over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once melted, stir in sliced onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until caramelized.
Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes to develop flavor. This is your au jus.
While the au jus is simmering, prepare the roast beef. Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the roast beef slices for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.
Place the warm roast beef on the bottom half of each baguette section. Layer with a slice of provolone cheese.
Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly crisped.
Strain the au jus through a fine mesh sieve into a serving bowl to remove the onions and garlic, leaving a smooth dipping sauce.
Serve the sandwiches hot with the warm au jus on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
