French Dip Recipe

Prepare the Beef

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef roast with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Roast the Beef

Transfer the seared beef to a roasting pan. In the same skillet, sauté sliced onion and minced garlic until softened. Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan, then add the sautéed onions and garlic. Cover with foil and roast for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Slice the Beef

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice the beef thinly against the grain.

Prepare the Rolls

While the beef is resting, split the sub rolls and toast them lightly under the broiler until golden brown.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Layer sliced roast beef and Swiss cheese inside each toasted sub roll.

Serve with Au Jus

Strain the broth from the roasting pan to use as au jus. Serve the sandwiches with the au jus on the side for dipping.
