EASY FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
Make this savory French Dip sandwich with a chuck roast or sliced beef from the deli.
The French Dip Sandwich is a spectacular sandwich that blends warm beef with a savory dipping broth or au jus sauce. When you pair your favorite roll with tender roast beef, and a warm side of au jus sauce, a delicious sandwich is born.
There are two important ingredients to a French Dip Sandwich. The bread and the dipping broth. A French or “crusty” roll works well with this sandwich to soak up the delicious au jus
Cheese? Well, if you please! Grab some Provolone slices or white American cheese from the deli.
