- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup onion - finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic - chopped
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces beef broth - low sodium or regular

- 1 bay leaf

This unbeatable classic American sandwich, named for the French bread it is prepared with, can be
served au jus (French for “with juice”) or with a creamy homemade horseradish sauce.
 
Directions
  • Season stew meat with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the pieces in flour, coasting all
    sides.
  • Heat oil in a dutch oven or saucepan on medium-high heat.
  • Add prepared stew meat and
    brown on all sides. When the meat is all browned, add the onion, reduce heat to medium-low and
    cook until the onions are tender and starting to caramelize - approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • Add garlic and tomato paste, cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce
    and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, increase the heat to medium
    and simmer another 25-30 minutes. The broth will reduce to about 3 cups.
  • Taste the broth, add
    salt if needed.
  • Strain the broth, discard the bay leaf and reserve the meat for another recipe.
    The meat would be great in a bbq beef sandwich or on top of egg noodles.
  • To assemble the
    sandwiches, split the rolls horizontally, but do not cut all the way through.
  • Place in the oven just until warmed all the way through, approximately 5 minutes at 325°F.
  • Add
    the sliced, deli style beef to the au jus in the sauce pan until warmed through.
  • Remove the beef from the au jus and divide it up amoung the warmed rolls.
  • Keep the sauce

warm and pour into individual cups for serving.
