Simple Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches With Mushroom Au Jus

Submitted by Candace Michelle

"This is a quick recipe I came up with because we were just craving a French dip style sandwich. The mushrooms could be left out, but they flavor the au jus so much I dont think I could ever leave them out!"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 8 samdwiches
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1 lb roast beef, sandwich meat (we used the thinly sliced deli style)
• 1 loaf bakery Italian bread (or any other style bread you choose)
• 8 slices swiss cheese
• 32 ounces beef broth, divided
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon mccormick garlic and herb seasoning
• 1⁄8 cup minced onion
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper

directions

1. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in olive oil. While they are sauteeing, season with garlic, Mccormick's, salt, and pepper.
2. Add beef broth (reserve 1/2 a cup), worcestershire sauce, and onion.
3. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup beef broth with cornstarch. Add to the mushroom mixture. Bring to a bowl, then reduce heat and let simmer about 5 minutes.
4. Add roast beef to mushroom au jus and cover, simmering about 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut your Italian bread into 8 slices. If not already split (sandwich style) go ahead and cut them, so you have 16 total slices of bread.
6. Place bread on cookie sheet. On 8 of the slices (bottom slice) place about 4 or 5 pieces of roast beef on each, then spread mushrooms evenly among each sandwich. Top each sandwich with a slice of swiss cheese.
7. Place sandwiches in oven and broil just until cheese is melted and bread is a bit toasted, about 5 minutes.
8. Serve sandwiches with a side of au jus to dip in!

This was a good, basic, and easy recipe. I only used two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce as I was afraid four would be too much for us. I also used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I didn't use the olive oil either.
