Easy Beef French Dip With Quick Au Jus Recipes

Steps:

• Combine beef base and thyme; rub over roast and place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the onion, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and pepper; pour over roast. Add water., Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast to a cutting board; cool slightly. Strain cooking juices, reserving onion; skim fat from juices. Discard bay leaf. Thinly slice meat., To assemble sandwiches, spread mustard over bread. Top each bottom with three slices cheese; layer with beef, remaining cheese, mushrooms and reserved onion. Replace tops. Cut each loaf into four slices; serve with reserved juices.

Steps:

• Melt fat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into beef fat; cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Pour beef broth into fat mixture; increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.
• Boil mixture until it thickens slightly; season with salt and pepper to taste.

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:

• Rinse the roast and sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste. I often skip the salt, since the broth and soup mix are salty already.
• Put the roast into your crock pot, and pour the broth and coffee (if using) over the roast.
• Add the soup mix and garlic (if using)into the liquid and stir a bit. Don't worry about getting the soup mix to dissolve. The crock pot does all the work!
• Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, slice
• the meat, and serve hot on hoagie rolls with your favorite cheese (I prefer provolone or swiss). These are great with sauteed onions (can add bell pepper too). The broth makes delicious au jus for dipping your sandwiches.

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.
