Easy French Dip Sandwich with Au Jus:
Today, I want to show you the easiest and quickest way to make a restaurant-quality French Dip Sandwich that can be ready in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients for French Dip Sandwich
To make this quick and easy French Dip Sandwich, you will need the following ingredients:
· Roast Beef. You can use either leftover steak or roast beef, or just as tasty can be store-bought roast beef deli meat. Be sure to use good quality meat that you know will taste good.
· Bread. You can use pretty much any bread, such as French baguette or Hoagie rolls.
· Cheese. It’s optional. The French dip sandwich will taste good with or without the cheese. In this recipe, I used Swiss cheese, but Provolone would make a great choice too.
· Au Jus. To make delicious Au Jus, I used Knorr® Granulated Beef Bouillon, onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and dry sherry.
How To Make Taste French Dip Sandwich
This French Dip Sandwich is a tasty meal with minimal preparation and cooking time. Since you’re going to use leftover meat or store-bought roast beef deli meat, there is no need to roast the beef from scratch. You will save a lot of time skipping this step and it won’t sacrifice the taste.
So, here’s how to make this French Dip Sandwich in easy steps:
- Make the homemade Au Jus.
- Reheat the roast beef meat in the Au Jus.
Reheat the sliced beef in the Au Jus. After that, assemble the sandwich by piling the meat into rolls, and top with cheese (optional).
- Bake
Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
How to Make French Dip Au Jus
This Au Jus recipe doesn’t require meat drippings but is still flavorful. The gravy’s depth of flavor comes from the Knorr® Granulated Beef Bouillon. It is a secret ingredient that I used to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
Knorr® Granulated Beef Bouillon dissolves quickly and really makes the sauce taste good as if it had taken hours to prepare!
So here’s how to make Au Jus:
1. Place onion, celery, water, Knorr® Granulated Beef Bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and dry sherry in the large saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, simmer for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Remove the vegetables from the sauce right before serving.
How to Build Your Sandwich
· Put some roast beef slices into the Au Jus and reheat for a few minutes.
· Using tongs, place the warm roast beef into rolls.
· Top with a slice of cheese then place the sandwich in the oven, and bake for 3-4 minutes until the meat is warm and the cheese is melted.

Why KNORR®?:
My family has used Knorr® products for years. They are one of those classic food brands that my mom and grandma know by name, however, they are always relevant and popular.
That all boils down to flavor; flavor reigns supreme (amen)! The Knorr® Granulated Beef Bouillon is one of those things that I always have around. It really can transform a dish.
I wrote here that it’s a secret ingredient which is funny as I’m publishing this to the masses, but it’s true that a little of this not only adds great flavor, but it helps bring out the natural flavors.
The combination of Knorr® bouillon with onions and beef, in particular, is phenomenal, and if I have any of the Au Jus leftovers I’m always tempted to soak it up with another piece of bread!

This sandwich sounds absolutely amazing. I don't really use much roast beef and don't buy it since the kids don't care for it. I'll have to make these sandwiches for them to try. I like that Knorr's makes it super easy to make the sauce.
Rika
I hope your kids will like this French dip!
