There’s a reason the French dip sandwich remains so popular more than 100 years after its invention: The combination of thinly sliced beef served au jus <\/em>(with flavorful cooking liquid) is incredibly tasty and easy to make. This\u00a0hot sandwich recipe<\/a> takes the guesswork out of making the best French dip at home, from picking the best meat to cooking the flavorful dipping sauce. And because we let a slow cooker do most of the work, the simple prep means you can put it together on a weekday morning and have delicious sandwiches for dinner that night.<\/p>\n A French dip sandwich is an American invention. Two Los Angeles restaurants\u2014Cole’s French Dip and Philippe the Original\u2014claim to have created this flavorful sliced beef sandwich. According to Cole’s, it came about in 1908 when a worker dipped a beef sandwich in cooking juices to make the bread softer for a customer with sore gums. Philippe claims it took off in 1918 after someone accidentally dropped a sandwich in cooking juices. Both places still serve their version of the sandwich, and both are delicious.<\/p>\n There are two common ways to serve a French dip: “wet,” where the inside of the bread is pre-dipped in cooking juices (jus), or “dry,” in which the sandwich comes with the jus on the side. (At Philippe, a double dip with a good slathering of hot mustard is the stuff of dreams.)<\/p>\n A French dip is similar to a Philly cheesesteak in that both feature sliced beef. However, a French dip features sliced roast beef and a savory broth. A classic Philly cheesesteak<\/a> is all about griddled sliced ribeye steak, and is usually topped with onions and melted cheese and served on a soft hoagie roll.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, saute the onions in butter until they’re soft and tender. Transfer them to a 5-quart slow cooker.<\/p>\n Cut the roast in half and place it over the onions.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, soup mix, browning sauce (if desired) and garlic. Pour the mixture over the roast. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the meat is tender, seven to nine hours.<\/p>\n Remove the roast with a slotted spoon and let it stand for 15 minutes. Thinly slice the meat across the grain.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Let the meat rest so the juices redistribute evenly through the roast. When it’s time to slice, treat it like cutting a steak<\/a>: Align the roast on the cutting board so the muscle fibers run left to right. Then, make up-and-down slices with a sharp knife.<\/p>\n Place a pile of meat on the roll bottoms and sprinkle it with Swiss cheese. Place the sandwich halves on an ungreased baking sheet and broil them 3 to 4 inches from the heat until the cheese melts, about one minute.<\/p>\n Remove them from the oven and replace the tops. Skim the fat from the cooking juices, strain them and serve them as a dipping sauce if desired.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> While broiling a French dip with melty cheese isn’t like the original, it is very delicious. It’s OK to omit that step if you want a simple sandwich au jus. To make it more like an authentic Philippe French dip, dip both sides of the inside of the roll in the broth and then pile on the meat.<\/p>\n Store the sliced beef and jus in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for the best results. Any leftover rolls should be stored, unsliced, at room temperature.<\/p>\n When the ingredients are stored separately, French dip sandwiches last up to four days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Absolutely! You can freeze the cooked beef and jus for up to three months. To freeze, place the sliced beef and jus in separate airtight freezer-safe containers. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating them.<\/p>\n If you only have leftover jus, don’t let it go to waste! Pour the savory broth into an ice cube tray, freeze it, then place the cubes into a freezer-safe storage bag. You can freeze the jus for sandwiches au jus for up to six months.<\/p>\n To reheat French beef dip sandwich leftovers, place the sliced beef in a skillet with a splash of jus, then cover the skillet and warm the beef over medium-low heat. You can also reheat the meat in the microwave. Sprinkle the beef with jus, and heat them for 20-second intervals until the beef is heated through.<\/p>\n For a thicker jus, try a sauce-thickening trick<\/a> like using a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until they’re smooth. Add the slurry to the hot jus and continue simmering until it reaches your desired thickness.<\/p>\n Slice the beef against the grain when making French dip sandwiches. Take a close look at the cooked beef; you should see several lines running parallel. To slice against the grain, make perpendicular cuts with the grain. Slicing against the grain cuts the muscle fibers into shorter pieces, which makes the meat easier to chew.<\/p>\n Common accompaniments with French dip sandwiches include hot peppers<\/a> and condiments like spicy mustard. Serve French dip sandwiches with side dishes like\u00a0french fries<\/a>, a great potato salad<\/a>, roasted vegetables<\/a> or a simple green salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy French dip sandwich recipe features sliced onions, rump roast and a flavorful au jus made in the convenience of your slow
