Method

Preparing the Roast Beef

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  3. 3

    Roast the Beef

    Place the seasoned roast on a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Au Jus

    In a medium saucepan, combine the beef broth, water, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and thyme.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Au Jus

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, then remove the bay leaf.

  1. 7

    Slice the Beef

    Thinly slice the rested roast beef against the grain.

    Slice the French rolls or baguette in half. Spread butter on the cut sides.

    Toast the Rolls

    Place the rolls under the broiler for a few minutes until the butter is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.
