Drippy French Dip Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Make the onion spread: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt; cover and cook, stirring, until golden, about 35 minutes. Add the shallots and scallion whites; cover and cook, stirring, until browned, about 25 more minutes. Stir in the scallion greens, then remove from the heat and let cool.
• Chop the onion mixture and transfer to a bowl. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Make the beef for the sandwiches: Mince the garlic, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and mash into a paste with the flat side of a large knife. Transfer to a bowl; add the olive oil, celery salt, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cut small slits all over the beef with a knife, then use your fingers to push the garlic paste into the slits. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring the beef to room temperature. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place on a rack in a roasting pan; add 1 cup broth, 3/4 cup water, the celery, onion and parsley to the pan. Roast 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the beef registers 115 degrees F, about 45 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 20 minutes. Strain the pan juices; reserve.
• Meanwhile, make the jus: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in the reserved pan juices and the remaining 3 cups broth and bring to a boil, whisking. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sherry.
• Brush the rolls with some of the onion spread. Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Dunk the slices in the jus, then layer on the rolls. Serve the remaining jus in small bowls for dipping.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; reserve the skillet.
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Bring the beef broth and nutmeg to a simmer in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and add the horseradish and 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cover and keep warm.
• Layer half of the cheese, then the roast beef, onion and the remaining cheese on the rolls. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches and top with a heavy skillet. Cook, pressing down on the top skillet to flatten the sandwiches, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 2 sandwiches. Serve with the dip.

Steps:

• Pierce the steak all over with a fork and place in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of the beef broth and 2 tablespoons of the Worcestershire in a small bowl until smooth. Pour over the beef and add the thyme sprigs and smashed garlic. Seal the bag and press the meat so it is covered by the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat the broiler. Line the bottom of a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. If using a baking sheet, place a rack over the foil.
• Remove the meat from the bag and discard the marinade. Pat the meat dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups beef broth into the bottom of the prepared pan and place the meat on top of the broiler pan or rack. Broil, turning once, until a thermometer inserted in the center registers about 125 degrees F, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest on the rack for 5 minutes then transfer to a cutting board and let rest an additional 5 minutes. Reserve the juices in the bottom of the broiler pan or baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and set aside.
• Pour the reserved juices from the broiler pan and the remaining 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce into a small pot and cook over medium heat until hot.
• Thinly slice the meat against the grain and lightly season the slices with salt. Divide the sliced meat and sauteed onions among the hoagie rolls. Serve with the pan sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Open the hoagie rolls and lay out on a baking sheet.
• Heat beef consomme and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to make a rich beef broth. Place the roast beef in the broth and warm for 3 minutes. Arrange the meat on the hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone.
• Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the warm broth for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Combine the chopped vegetables, garlic and thyme in a large roasting pan. Rub the dried herbs and spices all over the beef; season generously with salt and pepper. Place the beef fat-side up on the vegetables and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130, about 45 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• While the meat is resting, put the roasting pan on the stove and cook the vegetables over high heat until they are browned but not burnt and the liquid has evaporated; pour off any excess fat. Add the beef broth to the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits that cling to the bottom. Transfer the liquid and vegetables to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 30 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Trim any excess fat from the beef and thinly slice. Halve the rolls horizontally and warm in the oven. Dip the bottom of each roll in the sauce and top with some of the beef; dip the cut side of each roll top in the sauce and place on each sandwich. Serve with the hot mustard.
