French Dip Beef Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, shallow skillet over moderate heat, melt butter. Add shallots to butter and saute 2 minutes. Add flour to butter and shallot and cook a minute longer. Whisk in sherry and cook liquid out. Whisk in consomme in a slow stream. Bring sauce to a bubble and allow to simmer over low heat until ready to serve sandwiches.
• Pile meat loosely across your cutting board or a large work surface. Season meat with grill seasoning or salt and black pepper. Set out 4 ramekins or small soup cups for dipping sauce, 4 dinner plates and 4 split torpedo rolls. To assemble, using a pair of kitchen tongs, dip meat into loose au jus sauce and pile into rolls. Set ramekins or cups with extra dipping sauce along side the sandwiches.

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:

• Let the chuck roast sit out at room temperature for at least 1 and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Using paper towels, pat the roast completely dry. Spread the compound butter mixture all over the entire roast.
• Place the onions, carrots, garlic, thyme and rosemary in the bottom of a large roasting pan and place the roast on top.
• Roast for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Continue roasting until a meat thermometer registers 120 degrees F, about 2 hours. Remove the roast from the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and drain off the juices that have accumulated in the pan to serve as the "jus."
• Spread some butter on one side of the sandwich rolls and horseradish sauce on the other side. Drizzle some of the reserved jus on the inside of each roll.
• Thinly slice the beef and add about 1/2 pound (8 ounces) to each roll. Slice each sandwich in half on a diagonal and serve with the jus.
• In a small bowl combine the butter, herbs, garlic, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, garlic powder, cloves and nutmeg and mix well to form a thick paste.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500°F. Heat 12-inch skillet over high heat. Spray onion with cooking spray; add to skillet. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the herb blend. Cook 11 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently and adding water 2 tablespoons at a time, until onion is golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat broth and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons herb blend over medium heat until hot. Remove from heat; add beef, pushing beef down into liquid until covered. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Place buns, cut sides up, on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 4 minutes or until lightly toasted.
• Remove beef from broth; reserve broth. On bun bottoms, place beef, onion and cheese; cover with bun tops. Serve with warm broth for dipping.

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.

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.
