2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 jigger dry sherry, optional
2 cans beef consomme, found on broth and soups aisle or beef broth
1 1/2 pounds deli sliced roast beef
Grill seasoning blend for steak, such as Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend, or, coarse salt and pepper
4 torpedo sandwich rolls, split

Directions

In a large, shallow skillet over moderate heat, melt butter. Add shallots to butter and saute 2 minutes. Add flour to butter and shallot and cook a minute longer. Whisk in sherry and cook liquid out. Whisk in consomme in a slow stream. Bring sauce to a bubble and allow to simmer over low heat until ready to serve sandwiches.

Pile meat loosely across your cutting board or a large work surface. Season meat with grill seasoning or salt and black pepper.

WOW!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This French Dip Sandwich is the best I've ever had!!! I used onions instead of shallots and I browned the bread and topped it... off with swiss cheese and let it melt with the meat on the bread while wrapped in foil. I made french fries and corn on the cob with it for an awesome dinner. It was super fast and super good. I will be making this sandwich for a long time. My husband stated "there is only 1 thing I would do different......... make more."Read more

EXCELLENT!

I highly recommend using the Sherry even though it optional. The more the better as I find this gives the Au Jus the true... taste of a French Dip. I like to top off with Swiss or Provolone cheese. Read more

Yes it really is that good! I was out of sherry, so used a splash of dry vermouth...served it on leftover homemade french... bread from the weekend with oven fries on the side. My husband said it was the best french dip he ever had. This is definitely going into my weeknight rotation.Read more

easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Recipe is so simple for wonderful results - Everyone at the table agreed it was the best french dip sandwich they had ever... had. I used ciabatta bread so it would hold up to the au jus sauce. Also placed a piece of provolone on top of the meat and broiled for a minute to melt the cheese and toast the bread.Read more

the best french dip ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

so i made this recipe over the weekend and the results were fantastic. i made a double batch of the sauce and let it do its... things for a while in a crock pot and added the meat to half of the sauce before assembling the sandwiches and OMG it was tasteeeeeeeeeeeee! the only change i made was adding a little garlic butter on one side of the roll before putting the cheese on. everyone loved them and wanted more.
