Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Au Jus

    In a saucepan, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low to keep warm.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Layer the roast beef, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each roll.

  4. 4

    Toast the Sandwiches

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast until the cheese is melted and the rolls are slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and place the top half of the rolls on each sandwich. Serve with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
