French Dip Au Jus
Old school, simple and stupidly delicious. What more can I say? Btw, the term 'au jus' means 'with juice', so asking "do you want that with au jus" is redundant. We've tried this with leftover thin sliced rare tri-tip and it works with or without the bread.
Ingredients
- 1 large & 1 small yellow onion both thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dry vermouth
- 12 ounces beef stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 French rolls sliced lengthwise leaving a hinge
- 1/2 pound sliced roast beef tri-tip or other tender cut, medium rare preferably
Instructions
- Put the large onion in a saute pan and the small onion in a small pot - place both over medium heat
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to each and the butter to the pan
- The pan with the large onion now just needs to cook on low to slowly caramelize the onions
- Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, then remove pot from heat and add vermouth (to prevent a flare up)
- Let vermouth cook about 30 seconds then return to heat and add soy and beef stock
- Bring to a boil, turn heat down to simmer and cover, leave for 15 minutes - then strain liquid and keep warm
- Combine mustard, horseradish and mayo - mix well
- Put a generous layer of mayo on each roll, then the roast beef, some of the caramelized onions
- Close up shop and eat, dipping into the jus
