Au Jus Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef stock (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 beef bouillon cubes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 pound deli sliced roast beef
- 4 French rolls
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until semi-translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
- Prepare the Au Jus: Pour in the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and add the bouillon cubes if using. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat slightly and continue to boil for 4-5 minutes or until the bouillon cubes dissolve completely.
- Season the Broth: Taste the au jus carefully and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper as desired to enhance the flavor.
- Warm the Roast Beef: Add the sliced roast beef to the simmering au jus and let it warm in the broth until heated through, about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it absorbs some of the rich flavors.
- Toast the Rolls (Optional): Lightly toast the French rolls by placing them cut side up under the broiler for a few minutes until they are nicely toasted and warm, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Assemble and Serve: Pile the warmed roast beef onto the toasted rolls and serve immediately. Offer a cup or small bowl of the hot au jus on the side for dipping the sandwiches.
Notes
- Using low sodium beef stock helps control the saltiness of the au jus, especially if you add bouillon cubes.
- Bouillon cubes are optional but add extra depth and richness to the broth.
- For best results, slice the roast beef thinly and warm it gently to avoid drying out.
- To make this meal more hearty, you can add melted cheese or caramelized onions to the sandwich.
- Store any leftover au jus separately and refrigerate; it can be reheated and used as a dipping sauce or broth base.
