Leftover French Dip Sandwiches image

I love roast beef but since I primarily cook for just myself anymore, I like to morph the leftovers into different types of meals. This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover roast and most times I freeze the extra servings for a quick and easy dinner.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 onions, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp sugar
salt, to taste (i don't add this because the au jus is salty enough)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 c sherry (or dry white wine)
1 oz au jus gravy package
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
hoagie roll (or sourdough, or baguette)
leftover roast beef, sliced or shredded
mozzarella slices (or provolone)

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter over medium heat and saute onions with sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add sherry, increase heat and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Set aside.
  • 2. Make packaged au jus gravy according to package directions.
  • 3. Heat olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • 4. Slice baguette into sandwich-size slices.
  • 5. Brush bread halves with the reserved garlic oil and broil until toasted.
  • 6. Layer sandwiches: baguette bottom, roast beef dipped in au jus, onions, slices of cheese and baguette top.
  • 7. Serve remaining au jus on the side for dipping.
  • 8. Add a big salad for a quick, delicious dinner.
