Ingredients
- 4 hoagie rolls or French baguettes
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 8 slices of provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: horseradish or mustard for spreading
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Split the hoagie rolls or baguettes and place them on a baking sheet. If desired, spread a thin layer of horseradish or mustard on the rolls.
- Layer the roast beef and cheese slices on each roll. Place in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasted.
- Meanwhile, strain the onions from the broth and set them aside. Keep the broth warm to use as au jus for dipping.
- Assemble the sandwiches with the caramelized onions and close them.
- Serve the sandwiches with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.
