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)

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

3. Heat olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
