FRENCH DIP AU JUS



French Dip Au Jus image

A delicious dip for your french dip sandwiches. Better Than Bouillon is a brand of soup base its more of a paste.It's found with the bouillon. Just look for a soup base that lists beef as the first ingredient. I do not generally use the granules because we do not care for the flavor as much but you can use them.I would start with 1 tbs. of granules because of the salt content. If you could not find the Better Than Bouillon or a soup base product you could also use a canned beef broth or stock.

FRENCH DIP AU JUS

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 sub rolls, hinged
1 quart beef broth, warmed
1 1/2 pounds very rare deli-shaved roast beef
Creamy horseradish sauce and giardiniera, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter; when the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and start to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Place the rolls cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Liberally brush the rolls with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside for assembling.
  • To the pot with the mushrooms, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer an additional minute. Turn the heat off, then add the roast beef to the pot, quickly removing when just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of creamy horseradish, to taste, on both sides of the rolls. Add a layer of beef on the bottom halves of each roll, then top with a spoonful of mushrooms along with some of the jus. Top with giardiniera to taste. Transfer the remaining jus to dipping bowls and serve on the side.

FRENCH DIP CLASSIC



French Dip Classic image

Despite its Francophile trappings, this sandwich of shredded roast chuck and melted Swiss on a toasty baguette is an American invention.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 pounds chuck roast
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large yellow onion, chopped (2 cups)
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
3 cups chicken stock, divided
2 bay leaves
1 French baguette
4 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lower-third position.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season meat with salt and pepper and brown on both sides, 8 minutes total. Remove meat to a plate.
  • Saute onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in Dutch oven until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook, 1 minute more. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Reduce liquid by half.
  • Return chuck roast to Dutch oven along with 2 cups chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to oven. Roast, basting a few times, until meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
  • Transfer meat to a baking dish and shred using two forks. Strain liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add remaining 1 cup chicken stock to saucepan and keep warm on stovetop until ready to serve.
  • Preheat broiler. Slice baguette lengthwise, drizzle with oil, and place on a baking sheet. Top with shredded meat and Swiss cheese and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes.
  • Cut sandwich into six portions and serve immediately with a bowl of dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • To ensure the sandwich holds up and doesn't get soggy, use a sturdy, crusty roll or bread like sourdough, French bread, or hoagie rolls.
  • For a more flavorful sandwich, roast the beef chuck roast yourself. Cooking it low and slow in a flavorful broth will result in tender, juicy beef.
  • For a crispy sandwich, don't skip the step of toasting the bread or rolls before assembling the sandwich.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor. Try using a sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese.
  • Make sure the au jus is flavorful and well-seasoned. You can add herbs, spices, or even a splash of red wine to the broth to give it more depth of flavor.
  • For a healthier version of the sandwich, use lean roast beef and whole-wheat bread or rolls.

Conclusion:

The French dip sandwich is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner. With its tender, juicy beef, melted cheese, and flavorful au jus, it's a sandwich that is sure to satisfy. Whether you're making it at home or ordering it from a restaurant, be sure to follow these tips for the best possible French dip sandwich.
