Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 450 grams Roast beef
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 500 milliliters Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into four equal portions, then cut each section lengthwise to create sandwich rolls.

Step 3

In a medium pot over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once melted, stir in sliced onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until caramelized.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes to develop flavor. This is your au jus.

Step 6

While the au jus is simmering, prepare the roast beef. Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the roast beef slices for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.

Step 7

Place the warm roast beef on the bottom half of each baguette section. Layer with a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 8

Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly crisped.

Step 9

Strain the au jus through a fine mesh sieve into a serving bowl to remove the onions and garlic, leaving a smooth dipping sauce.

Step 10

Serve the sandwiches hot with the warm au jus on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
