Garlic, onions, soy sauce and onion soup mix flavor the tender beef in these savory hot sandwiches served with a tasty rich broth for dipping. The seasoned beef makes delicious cold sandwiches, too. -Marilyn Brown, West Union, Iowa

The best open faced beef sandwhich I've ever made. Great with both provolone or swiss cheese and several different types of bread or buns lightly toasted. Flavors are heavenly. :)

This recipe was a huge success. I had to improv somethings, but none the less, IT WAS FABULOUS. I didn't have onion soup mix, so I used vegetable soup mix. I didn't have browning sauce so I used liquid smoke. I didn't have french bread but I used sourdough hoagies. This recipe is like a cross between a philly cheese steak and french dip sandwich in one. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome recipe! I made it with the 2 2-lb roasts I had on hand. Other than that, I made it as-is. Recipe made quite a bit, would recommend at least 2 loaves of french bread.

The best I've tried! My family loves it! I use just a little less than called for on the soy sauce.

Forgot to say...I put sliced Provolone on top instead of Swiss cheese. First of all, it was just less messy and so much easier. It was 4 slices per side and 2nd-family isn't crazy about Swiss so don't have it on hand.

Loved it! Made it exactly as it's written and my teen sons and husband loved it. I may add sauteed mushrooms with the onions next time-I think it would sort of be icing on the cake. This will be something that will go on my regualer list. Thanks TOH1

A big hit at home and when I take this to friend's house!!! I never have sweet onions on hand, so I cheat and use the cut onions that come frozen. Delicious!
