Ingredients

• 1 pound deli-sliced roast beef
• 4 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 provolone or Swiss cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and black pepper.

Step 5

Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste the au jus and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to broil (or 450°F for bake as an alternative).

Step 7

Place the hoagie rolls or sandwich buns on a baking sheet and lightly toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, warm the thinly sliced roast beef in the simmering au jus for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Layer the warmed roast beef onto the toasted buns and, if using, place a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese on top.

Step 10

Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.

Step 11

Serve the sandwiches warm with individual bowls of mushroom au jus for dipping.
