Fantastic French Dip



Everything is better with garlic and onions. I came up with this recipe myself. It's easy enough that anyone can make a perfect sandwich every time and only dirties one pan.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2.5 hours

Ingredients:
2lbs beef roast
1 head garlic
2 yellow onions
10 sprigs fresh thyme
seasoning salt
1.5 qt beef broth
Swiss Cheese
Sandwich rolls

Peel and smash the garlic with the side of a knife. Slice onions into thin strips. Place both into the bottom of a Pyrex (or similar) baking pan.

Trim excess fat from the beef roast. Coat in seasoning salt and place atop the garlic and onions.

Add the beef broth and thyme sprigs.

Preheat oven to 500. Roast for 10 minutes, then decrease heat to 300 for two hours.

Remove roast from oven and set beef aside to rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes.

Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Strain onions and garlic from the au jus and reserve.

Blend onions and garlic into a paste using food processor.

Toast sandwich rolls with a slice of Swiss cheese on each.

While the rolls are toasting, slice the beef into thin strips using either a meat slicer or a sharp knife. Quickly place beef onto melted cheese and spread the garlic and onion mixture onto the half of the roll that does not have cheese. This will ensure the meat stays in the roll.

Serve each with a bowl of the au jus.

Serves 6 easily.
