French Dip is a classic sandwich originating in the United States, not France, despite its name. It typically consists of thinly sliced roast beef piled onto a crusty French roll or baguette, often topped with melted cheese. The sandwich is served alongside a flavorful beef au jus, a savory broth or sauce made from pan drippings, for dipping. Some variations include onions or horseradish for added zest. While rich in protein from the beef, the French Dip may be high in sodium from the au jus and potentially high in saturated fat depending on the cut of beef and preparation method. Choosing leaner cuts of beef and whole-grain bread can improve its nutritional profile. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent dish while balancing its calorie and fat content. Its hearty, comfort-food appeal makes it a popular option in American cuisine.
