Best French Dip Sandwich!

The french dip is always my "go to"sandwich when we go out for lunch. There's always a ton of meat, a ton of bread and the au jus that gives it the flavor. I decided I would make my own and was NOT DISAPPOINTED! I used sliced roast beef and ingredients that are readily available in the grocery store and it takes practically no time at all!

Best French Dip Sandwich

2-8oz pkgs sliced roast beef
6 French bread rolls
6 slices provolone cheese
1-8oz pkg sliced mushrooms
2 shallots
1 tbsp butter+ more for buttering bread
1 can beef consomme
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1 tbsp olive oil

 In a small skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil. Add one diced shallot and cook about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and butter. Cook about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.

While the mushrooms are cooking, in a separate saucepan, saute one shallot in a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Add the beef consomme. Bring to a simmer and then add the cooking sherry.

On each french roll, layer 3 slices of roast beef, some of the mushrooms and top with provolone cheese. Butter the top part of the roll with butter. Put the sandwiches under the broiler....open...for about 3 minutes or until the bread is toasty and the butter is melted.

Serve with the au jus. YUM!

This one had an extra half slice of cheese....which doesn't hurt..lol
