I created this because so many French Dip recipes seem bland or rely on a mix. The sandwich is simple to make and tastes better than a restaurant version. —Lindsay Ebert, Orem, Utah

French Dip au Jus Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 8 hours

Yield: 8 Servings

30 480 510

Ingredients

1-1/2 teaspoons beef base
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 beef rump roast or bottom round roast (3 pounds), cut in half
1 medium onion, quartered
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 cups water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 loaves French bread (1 pound each), split and toasted
12 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

Directions

Combine beef base and thyme; rub over roast and place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the onion, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and pepper; pour over roast. Add water.
Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast to a cutting board; cool slightly. Strain cooking juices, reserving onion; skim fat from juices. Discard bay leaf. Thinly slice meat.
To assemble sandwiches, spread mustard over bread. Top each bottom with three slices cheese; layer with beef, remaining cheese, mushrooms and reserved onion. Replace tops. Cut each loaf into four slices; serve with reserved juices. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: Look for beef base near the broth and bouillon.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this recipe! The only bad part was I had my wisdom teeth taken put yesterday so it was a little hard to eat.. But very juicy and tender meat! We used Hoagie rolls instead.. Delicious :)

If you make this with reduced-sodium beef base (found it on amazon) and low-sodium soy sauce you can save almost 600 mg. of sodium.

Good Lord!!Look at the amount of sodium in one sandqitch...I don't care how good it is-it is certainly not healthy and really bad for anyone with high blood pressure.

This recipe sounds absolutely delicious -- but 2200 mg of sodium???? That's more than an entire day's worth.

My family LOVED this. My husband took leftovers for lunch the next day and even commeneted on how good it was reheated. I used fresh mushrooms instead of canned.

This was FANTASTIC! I made it with a skinless turkey breast & substituted chicken base. The sauce was so fantastic that I saved it & made a wonderful turkey vegetable soup with the leftovers! Will DEFINITELY make again!!
