Instructions

1

Prepare the Au Jus

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the sliced onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2

Add Broth and Seasoning

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes to develop flavors.

3

Prepare the Baguette

While the au jus is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread butter on each half.

4

Toast the Baguette

Place the buttered baguette halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

5

Assemble the French Dip

Layer the sliced roast beef on the toasted baguette and close it. Serve hot with a side of au jus for dipping. Offer horseradish on the side if desired.
