- 1 teaspoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 6 whole Hoagie Rolls
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 8 slices Provolone Cheese
- Horseradish, To Serve (optional)
- Heat oven broiler to high.
- Using drippings from roast beef pan, spoon out most of oil, if applicable.
- Place roasting pan over medium high heat on stove top.
- Add beef stock and soy sauce to pan and, using a wooden (or non-abrasive) spoon, scrape off browned bits from the pan.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 810 minutes.
- If sauce is too salty, add more beef broth.
- If not salty enough, add more soy sauce, as needed, until it reaches desired flavor.
- Slice hoagie rolls in half lengthwise.
- Spread a thin layer of butter over each half (top and bottom) of roll.
- Place rolls, butter side up, on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Place bread under the broiler and broil until butter is melted and bread starts to turn golden brown.
- Be careful not to let bread burn.
- Once golden brown, remove from oven.
- Take the top bread halves off the baking sheet and set aside.
- Leave the bottoms on the baking sheet for later.
- Keep broiler on.
- Slice roast beef into very, very thin slices.
- Place slices in hot au jus on the stove and cook for 1 minute.
- Using tongs or a fork, carefully remove roast beef slices and layer on each bottom half of the sandwich with desired amount.
- Top each with a slice of provolone cheese and replace under the broiler until cheese is melted, about 12 minutes.
- Remove from broiler and place the top half on each sandwich.
- Slice each french dip in half and serve alongside a small cup of au jus (and a dab of horseradish, if desired) for dipping.
