Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lean roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 4 pieces Whole-grain sandwich rolls
- 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0 Salt (optional, to taste)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 2
Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the low-sodium beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce heat to low and allow the broth to cook for 10-12 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Step 6
While the broth simmers, slice the whole-grain sandwich rolls and lightly toast them under a broiler or in a toaster.
Step 7
Warm the thinly sliced roast beef by placing it in the hot au jus broth for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.
Step 8
Using tongs, layer the warmed roast beef onto the toasted rolls and close the sandwiches.
Step 9
Strain the au jus broth to remove the cooked onions and garlic, if desired, or serve as-is.
Step 10
Serve the French Dip Sandwiches warm with a small bowl of the au jus broth on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
