Beef and Au Jus

Bread

Method

Preparing the Au Jus

  1. 1

    Make the Au Jus

    In a medium saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    While the au jus is simmering, slice the Italian hoagie rolls open lengthwise. Place a portion of the thinly sliced roast beef inside each roll, ensuring it is well-packed.

  2. 3

    Add Au Jus

    Using a ladle, dip each sandwich into the au jus to soak the beef slightly. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.

  3. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top each sandwich with a generous spoonful of spicy giardiniera followed by shredded mozzarella cheese.

Toasting the Sandwiches

  1. 5

    Toast the Sandwiches

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve with the remaining au jus for dipping.
