Easy French Dip Sandwiches Recipe

It does't get much easier than this! Plus, it tastes really good! All I added to the "au jus" was a 1 tsp. of minced garlic, and a 1/2 tsp. of rosemary. I also sauteed a large onion sliced into 1/2 inch rings. I used swiss cheese instead of provolone (personal preference). These were some "Easiest" French Dip sanwiches ever!

So awesome! I did not know that consomme was so I just bought beef broth. Before I made the recipe I looked it up and realized it is a strong broth so I just added 3 beef bullion cubes to the broth before adding the roast beef. It was so great. Everyone in my family gobbled it up. My husband preferred cheddar and and mustard so it was easy to change it up before putting in the oven.

Very easy. I've used consomme forever due to it's weight & flavor. However, absolutely NOT a fan of deli roast beef b/c it does not even resemb le real roast beef in flavor. I take a 4 lb.boneless beef roast from the freezer, place it in a 500 degree oven for 30-45 mins. Turn oven down to 250 and roast UNcoveredfor 6 hrs. The finished product is fantastic & the drippings must be moistened, stirred up & added to the consomme. This is the only way to eat roast beef in our family.

I made this exactly as the recipe was written and it was really good but the sauce seemed to be missing the extra flavor I was looking for. The second time I made it, I added garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce to the consume and the family raved about it. I added a teaspoon of garlic powder and about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

These were easy and delicious! I did caramelize an onion before I added the consomme and water. And I added a dash of Worcestershire sauce to it as well. I used French Bread and toasted before adding the cheese and meat, as well as toasting after for 3-4 min. My son who can be a picky eater even ate his. Will definitely make again.

Very good & easy to make. Used McCormick Gravy Mix - Au Jus instead of beef consomme. Added some garlic powder & Worcestershire while warming up gravy mix.

Made these today, SO GOOD! I added some things to it, made them more of a philly sandwich, but definitly will be in the repetoir again. I sauteed mushrooms, green pepper and onion with pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning in a cast iron skilled (Got a nice crust on the mushrooms). Pulled those out and heated the consome and beef slices, layed those out on my hoagie buns and topped them with the veggies and then cheese. I used asiago on mine, and my husband asked for colby jack. SO GOOD.

Saute a few onions and green peppers in butter. (Add a few slices of fresh jalapeno if you are courageous.) Set that aside and warm the beef in the same pan with a little Au Jus. Pile that warm beef into a hollowed out hoagie bun that has been smeared with horseradish sauce. Pile those yummy peppers and onion on top, followed by the cheese - I use Swiss - then pop it in the oven ntil the cheese melts. As far as the Au Jus, amp that dry mix up by substituting brandy or wine for some of the water and throw in a bit of fresh ground pepper. Yowser, from dud to stud!

Ahhhh-mazing!! I was skeptical about using deli roast beef but it turned out so good! I did make some changes though. I used the McCormick au jus packet. It has so much flavor that you don't need to add a thing. Just follow the prep instructions on the packet. For the roast beef, I bought the Dietz & Watson brand. It is super expensive at $13 / lb but it made all the difference. For the bread, I used a fresh baked french loaf from my grocery store's bakery. The french loaf was the perfect size to cut into 4 sandwiches. Once I split the bread open, I spread a little bit of butter on the inside before adding the beef. As for the roast beef, I prefer mine on the rarer side, so I only put mine into the hot au jus just long enough to saturate without cooking it further. It turned out so amazing and my family scarfed it down! It seriously could have passed for a meal at an upscale restaurant! I was super impressed. :) The only thing I would do differently next time is probably broil the sandwiches for the last minute. I didn't feel they were quite hot enough after only 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Plus, I like my cheese to be super melted with a little bit of browning.

Loved this. It was so simple I don't why I never thought of it myself. I used beef broth with a sprinkling of Lipton onion soup mix and powdered garlic as the au jus, Sauted onion, green and red peppers and mushrooms. I put the bottom half back under the broiler for a few seconds until the cheese melted. I also spread a little Miracle Whip on the top half. Delicious. Rave reviews.

I sorta changed this up a little and added some modifications as comments suggested. Used Boars Head roast beef, sliced thing & rare...I added 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 red onion and 1 shallot to beef consomme & water. Let that boil. Then added roast beef for about 5 minutes. Threw on roll and broiled for 5 minutes. Instead of provolone I used mozzarella - personal preference. I also brushed hot sandwiches with horseradish for a little spice. They were DELICIOUS!

This is definitely a go to weeknight meal. So good quick, and easy to make.

I like the recipe but haven't been able to try yet. I hope to try it soon, but I would add mushrooms. I like mushrooms 🍄. Cooked of course. And maybe some salted onions. And maybe some peppers.

Thi is good for a quick meal. Beef consomme can be very salty, look for low sodium options. Cooking a roast in the crockpot can be a much healthier option

Great introduction for beef dip sandwiches! I added 1.5 tsp granulated garlic and a dash of Penzeys Québec beef spices. I also toasted the subs first, which wasn't in the steps.

This is so quick and tasty!

I love the "French dip" roast beef sandwich. It's my favorite lunch sandwich. Only difference, I coat with Duke's mayo before heating & use bacon slices. I use salt, pepper, garlic, & Irish butter in Aus Jus sauce with better than bouillon. Also I top with mushrooms & light onions. Optional

Tried it for a small gathering — instant win.

Delicious! 1st time I tried French Dip. Will add it to our monthly rotation! Ummm ummm!

Fantastic recipe. Rave reviews from the family!
