French Dip Sandwich Recipe

Directions for Preparing French Dip Sandwich

1. 1

   Prepare the Roast

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the beef roast with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Roast the Beef

   Transfer the skillet with the seared roast to the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Make the Au Jus

   In the same skillet used for the roast, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare Horseradish Cream

   In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and horseradish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Slice the rested roast thinly. Split the brioche buns and layer with slices of beef. Serve with a small bowl of au jus for dipping and a generous dollop of horseradish cream on the side.
