BEST MEAT FOR FRENCH DIP SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475˚ degrees. Tie the piece of meat tightly with a couple of pieces of kitchen twine.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the surface of the beef. Place the beef on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and roast it to medium-rare, about 20 to 25 minutes, until it registers 125˚ degrees on a meat thermometer. (If you want it less pink, go to 135˚.) Remove the meat to a cutting board and cover it with foil.
• Place the roasting pan on the stovetop burner over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until they are soft and golden. Sprinkle in the soup mix, then pour in the consomme, broth, sherry, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop the flavors. Add more water if it starts to evaporate too much. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and reserve both the liquid and the onions.
• Slice the beef very thin. Pile the beef and caramelized onions on the toasted rolls, then serve with a side of jus.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Rub beef all over with olive oil and place in roasting pan. In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, oregano, and sage.  Rub spice mix all over beef. Roast for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 125° in the thickest part of the ribeye. Set aside on a cutting board to rest and turn oven down to 350°.
• Meanwhile, make jus: Place roasting pan (with beef drippings) over stove top burner and turn to medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, 1 minute longer. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring up to a simmer. Cook until thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• When ready to serve, thinly slice beef. Fill each roll with beef and top with provolone. Bake until cheese is melty, 10 minutes. 
• Serve with jus on the side for dipping.
