Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced roast beef (about 8 oz)
- Swiss or provolone cheese slices (4-6 slices)
- Soft hoagie or sub rolls (4 rolls)
Dipping Sauce
- Beef broth or prepared au jus (1 cup)
- Dijon mustard or horseradish (optional, 1-2 teaspoons)
For Toasting the Rolls
- Butter, softened (2 tablespoons)
- Garlic, minced (1 clove)
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls: Slice the hoagie or sub rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Mix softened butter with minced garlic and spread a thin layer evenly on the cut sides. Toast the rolls lightly in a pan or oven until golden and fragrant.
- Layer beef and cheese: Evenly lay thin slices of roast beef across the toasted side of each roll. Top the beef with slices of Swiss or provolone cheese, ensuring every bite will have melted cheese.
- Roll it up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the bread around the beef and cheese to create neat roll ups that hold together well and are easy to dip.
- Heat and melt: Place the roll ups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and rolls are heated through.
- Prepare the dipping sauce: Warm the beef broth or au jus in a small saucepan or bowl. Optionally, stir in Dijon mustard or horseradish to add extra depth and zing.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the hot Beef and Cheese French Dip Roll Ups alongside the au jus for dipping. Enjoy the juicy, cheesy bites with the flavorful sauce.
Notes
- Choose quality thinly sliced deli roast beef with good marbling for best flavor and tenderness.
- Lightly toast the rolls to prevent sogginess and add subtle crunch.
- Do not overfill the rolls to keep them intact and easy to handle.
- Warm the au jus well before serving to enhance the dipping experience.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
