FRENCH ONION BEEF AU JUS



French Onion Beef Au Jus image

This is a fabulous recipe for an open faced French Onion Beef Au Jus sandwich. This is truly a knife-and-fork sandwich. I have made this countless times, and have no idea where I got the original recipe, or why I have never posted it here. It can be made in the oven, or crockpot. I have made it both ways, depending on how much time I have, and really notice no difference. One little tip I can share, is when you are toasting your bread in the oven, slice a small sliver off the bottom (round side) of the bread to make a flatter surface, that way when you pile on the beef, onion, and cheese the sandwich won't tip over when you put it back in the oven to melt the cheese. (it keeps it from being top-heavy).

ROAST BEEF AU JUS



Roast Beef Au Jus image

This recipe was given to me 35 years ago as a beef romanoff dish. The dish required sour cream and cooked noodles added to the gravy. It was delicious but not my family's favorite dish. I adjusted the recipe to suit my family's taste by eliminating the sour cream and noodles and by slicing the roast very thin, placing the meat inside a hot yeast roll, serving with a small dish of gravy for dipping. After serving this to my son-in-law 16 years ago, this dish has become one of his favorite request when he visits. This meal is sliced roast beef in a large hot yeast roll served with the gravy for dipping. The gravy will not be thick.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a chuck roast or top blade steak for a tender and flavorful result.
  • Brown the Beef Thoroughly: Searing the beef in hot oil creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.
  • Simmer Slowly: Cooking the beef in a flavorful liquid over low heat allows the meat to become tender and absorb the flavors.
  • Use a Good Quality Au Jus Mix: A homemade or store-bought au jus mix adds richness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan as this will prevent proper browning.
  • Deglaze the Pan: After removing the beef from the pan, deglaze the pan with a splash of liquid (such as beef broth or water) to loosen any browned bits and add flavor to the au jus.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes or Rice: Onion beef au jus pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or rice, which soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Onion beef au jus is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. With its tender beef, savory au jus, and caramelized onions, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Whether you serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, onion beef au jus is a satisfying and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion.
