Now, each ingredient in this recipe plays a crucial role. Roast beef, the main component, gives a rich flavor and the roast’s juice forms the basis of the dip (au jus). It’s dope. The Swiss cheese enhances the overall flavor and adds a creamy texture. Y’all don’t want to muck around with the ingredients though, because each one brings its own flair to the table. But if you’re allergic to any of these or just don’t fancy them, feel free to use substitutes.

How To Make French Dip Sandwiches

1. Preheat the pan. Slice the French rolls in half lengthwise, spread the butter on both sides and toast them on the pan until golden brown.
2. Stack layers of roast beef and Swiss cheese on one half of the sandwich. Broil the sandwich open-faced until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
3. Meanwhile, heat beef broth and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and season it with some salt & pepper. This will be our au jus.
4. Once everything is ready, close the sandwich and slice it in half. That���s about it! Serve your sandwich with a bowl of warm au jus to dip. Enjoy!
