Ingredients:
- 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 hoagie rolls or French bread, split
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the au jus: In a medium saucepan, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Lightly butter the insides of the hoagie rolls. Layer the roast beef evenly on the bottom half of each roll, and top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Place the top halves of the rolls on the sandwiches.
- Bake the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
- Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately with the warm au jus for dipping.
