Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Pile meat loosely across your cutting board or a large work surface. Season meat with grill seasoning or salt and black pepper.

Delicious, quick and easy. As another user said, I slice my rolls and bake/broil them to get them crispy and add whatever sliced cheese I have on hand (provolone, Swiss). This is always a go-to recipe
