Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the beef roast with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Place in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Beef

    Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 3 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    While the beef is resting, slice the red onions. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Au Jus

    In a saucepan, heat the beef broth over medium heat. This will be served as the dipping sauce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the French rolls in half. Layer the sliced beef, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each roll. Place the tops on and optionally toast in the oven for a few minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with a side of hot beef broth for dipping.
