Mushroom Au Jus image

Provided by Dixie from Kansas

Time 30m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce dried shiitake mushroom
4 cups hot water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

Put the shiitakes in a bowl and add the hot water. Cover and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms from the water and cut off and discard the stems. Swish the mushrooms in the soaking water to loosen any grit. Finely chop the mushrooms; reserve the soaking liquid.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the garlic and cook over high heat until the soy sauce evaporates and the mushrooms brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in the reserved soaking liquid, stopping when you reach the grit, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Simple Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches With Mushroom Au Jus image

Provided by Candace Michelle

Time 30m

Yield 8 samdwiches, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 lb roast beef, sandwich meat (we used the thinly sliced deli style)
1 loaf bakery Italian bread (or any other style bread you choose)
8 slices swiss cheese
32 ounces beef broth, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon mccormick garlic and herb seasoning
1/8 cup minced onion
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in olive oil. While they are sauteeing, season with garlic, Mccormick's, salt, and pepper.
Add beef broth (reserve 1/2 a cup), worcestershire sauce, and onion.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup beef broth with cornstarch. Add to the mushroom mixture. Bring to a bowl, then reduce heat and let simmer about 5 minutes.
Add roast beef to mushroom au jus and cover, simmering about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut your Italian bread into 8 slices. If not already split (sandwich style) go ahead and cut them, so you have 16 total slices of bread.
Place bread on cookie sheet. On 8 of the slices (bottom slice) place about 4 or 5 pieces of roast beef on each, then spread mushrooms evenly among each sandwich. Top each sandwich with a slice of swiss cheese.
Place sandwiches in oven and broil just until cheese is melted and bread is a bit toasted, about 5 minutes.
Serve sandwiches with a side of au jus to dip in!
