A comforting and indulgent French dip sandwich featuring slow-roasted ribeye and a rich, flavorful au jus, perfect for an easy yet impressive dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds ribeye roast (USDA Choice grade recommended)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, smashed
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme
  • A few sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 4–6 French rolls or baguette pieces
  • Optional toppings: provolone or Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Pat the ribeye dry and rub with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and sear the ribeye for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Transfer ribeye to a roasting pan with a rack. Scatter smashed garlic cloves and herb sprigs around the roast. Insert meat thermometer into the thickest part.
  4. Roast in the oven until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on size.
  5. Remove roast from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  6. While resting, place roasting pan drippings on stovetop over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  7. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping browned bits from pan. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly reduced.
  8. Slice ribeye thinly against the grain.
  9. Warm rolls or baguette pieces. Layer ribeye slices on bread, add optional cheese or onions, and serve with hot au jus for dipping.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect medium-rare doneness. Resting the meat is crucial for juicy slices. Warm rolls just before serving to prevent sogginess. Optional broil sandwiches with cheese for 1-2 minutes for melted cheese. Homemade beef broth enhances au jus flavor but store-bought works fine.
