EASY FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Slice the rolls, but not all the way through so they open like a book. Place them on small sheets of slightly crumpled foil. This helps with clean up but it also holds the sandwiches in place. Then add a 1/2 slice of sharp provolone into the bottom each of roll.
• Spray the bottom of a large pan with olive oil spray.
• Add in the onion, granulated garlic and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat the pan on medium, stir and sauté until the onions are soft. About 8 to 10 minutes.
• Once softened, stir in the worcestershire sauce and transfer to a small bowl. Turning off the heat under the pan.
• To the same skillet, pour in the broth, tamari and add the roast beef to the lukewarm broth. You don't want the broth to be hot, just warm enough to warm up the roast beef.
• Use tongs to divide the beef among the rolls. Keep in mind, the au jus on the beef could make the bread soggy, so allow any excess broth to drip off and back into the pan before filling each roll.
• Keep the au jus warm under low heat.
• Divide the sautéed onions among the sandwiches and top each with 2 slices (halves) of the provelone. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 4 to 6 minutes, rotate the pan halfway to ensure even melting.
• Ladle 1/2 cup of au jus into ramekins or small bowls and serve with the sandwiches.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter; when the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and start to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Place the rolls cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Liberally brush the rolls with the garlic butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside for assembling.
• To the pot with the mushrooms, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer an additional minute. Turn the heat off, then add the roast beef to the pot, quickly removing when just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of creamy horseradish, to taste, on both sides of the rolls. Add a layer of beef on the bottom halves of each roll, then top with a spoonful of mushrooms along with some of the jus. Top with giardiniera to taste. Transfer the remaining jus to dipping bowls and serve on the side.
