The French dip is all about the jus: a quick, beefy broth with onion and thyme that the sandwich is dunked into bite by bite. Thin-sliced sirloin cooks right in the jus in under three minutes, so it stays tender and soaks up the flavour. Provolone melts over the top under the broiler.

Ingredients

For 4 sandwiches.

Jus

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Beef

  • 1 1/2 lb sirloin steak, sliced paper-thin

Sandwiches

  • 4 hoagie rolls (3 oz each)
  • 3 oz sliced provolone

Method

  1. Cook the onion in the oil in a pan over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire and thyme and simmer 8 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Split the rolls and toast the cut sides for 1 minute.

Tips

  • A short spell in the freezer firms the beef enough to shave it paper-thin.
  • Toast the cut sides of the rolls so they hold up to dipping.
