French Dip Au Jus Recipes

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:

• 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:

• For the horseradish sauce: Combine the sour cream, horseradish, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate to develop the flavors.
• For the au jus: Combine the onion soup, beef broth, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and 3/4 cold water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Taste and season with pepper and more salt if needed. Strain the mixture and discard the onions (if there were any in the soup.) Cover and keep warm.
• For the steak: Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan if needed. Season the steak with salt and lots of black pepper. Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest, then thinly slice.
• Spread the horseradish sauce on one side of each baguette. Dip the steak slices in the warm au jus and place on top of the bread with horseradish sauce, then place the other slices of bread on top. Transfer the remaining au jus to two dipping bowls and serve with the sandwiches for dipping.

• Leave the celery and onion in big chunks for easy removal.

• Strain, place in small bowls and enjoy.

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.

• Saute onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in Dutch oven until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook, 1 minute more. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Reduce liquid by half.
• Return chuck roast to Dutch oven along with 2 cups chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to oven. Roast, basting a few times, until meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
• Transfer meat to a baking dish and shred using two forks. Strain liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add remaining 1 cup chicken stock to saucepan and keep warm on stovetop until ready to serve.
