Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Au Jus

    In a small saucepan, heat the beef broth over medium heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Grill the French Rolls

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Spread butter on the cut sides of the French rolls. Place the rolls on the grill, buttered side down, and grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Once the rolls are grilled, remove them from the grill and place them on a baking sheet. Top each roll with shredded cheddar cheese.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and serve the cheesy French rolls hot with the au jus for dipping.
