Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 4 French rolls, split
- 4 slices Provolone cheese, optional
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and brown slightly.
Stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, coating the mushrooms evenly.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season the broth with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.
Preheat the oven to broil. Place the split French rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up.
If using provolone cheese, place a slice on each roll. Broil the rolls for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are toasted, and the cheese is melted.
Using a slotted spoon, pile the mushroom mixture onto the toasted rolls.
Serve the sandwiches immediately with small bowls of the mushroom au jus for dipping.
