A rich and hearty fusion of the classic French dip sandwich and grilled cheese, featuring savory roast beef, melty provolone, and golden, buttery bread served with a side of flavorful au jus for dipping.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of roast beef (deli-style or thinly sliced leftover roast)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or Swiss/mozzarella)
  • 1 small onion, sliced and caramelized (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus more for sautéing onions)
  • 4 slices sourdough or French bread
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), minced garlic, and olive oil. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes to develop flavor. Set aside as au jus.
  2. If using onions, sauté them in butter over medium-low heat until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches by layering roast beef, provolone cheese, and caramelized onions (if using) between two slices of bread.
  4. Butter the outside of each slice of bread.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Serve hot with warm au jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use Swiss or mozzarella cheese as an alternative to provolone.
  • Add horseradish sauce or spicy mustard for a kick.
  • Vegetarian option: replace roast beef with sautéed mushrooms.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet.
