For a sandwich with more pizzazz than the traditional French dip, give this recipe a try. The seasonings give the broth a wonderful flavor, and the meat cooks up tender and juicy. This new version will soon be a favorite at your house, too. -Margaret McNeil, Germantown, Tennessee

Made this as written. Very simple and delicious. Served with grilled green peppers and provolone.

This sandwich was delicious! Instead of soy sauce, I used Bragg's amino acid. I topped mine with a few sliced banana peppers. Everyone loved it!

I did half & half with the water and beef broth like other reviews suggested. It had a good flavor, but I guess I just like the more traditional french dip. It was nice to have a change, though.

This is one of my family's top 10 recipes. It is so easy and always good. We leave out the rosemary (strong flavor) and I usually just rub black pepper from my shaker on the meat. This deserves 10 stars.

I substituted one cup beef broth for one cup water. Very tasty when dipped! I am thinking about using some leftovers in the Stacked Enchilada Recipe tonight instead of chicken.

We love this recipe! Everyone in the family eats it up. We like to put some swiss cheese on the roll with the meat. So easy and very tasty.

I have been making this recipe for years. This is one of the best meals for company. Not to mention it's about as simple and hands-off a recipe as you can possibly get. People always ask how I made this, b/c the gourmet flavors taste like it took hours to do. Reminds me of the Fr Dip I had at Mimi's cafe.

This has become a family favorite. I love adding some hot peppers for a nice touch. So glad I tried this, I use it often.
