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

I have made this recipe about 4 times in the past 5 weeks. So good and simple! I serve it with pepperjack cheese. It is a little salty so I put a little less soy sauce.

I love this recipe and so does everyone who has tried it. Great as a leftover too!

yummy, was a little too salty but I think it was my fault. I added some garlic salt and beef boullion. Next time I will def omit that and leave the recipe as is. I did follow anothers suggestion of provolone cheese on the roll and broiling it. I used a hard crusted roll to avoid any kind of sogginess.

Amazing!!! I served it on hard rolls. I sliced them in half, spread butter on one side, put Provolone cheese on the other, and toasted them under the broiler for a few minutes. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be serving this the next time we have company.

Found this recipe over a year ago, and love it!! I brought the recipe to make when we visited my husband's family last year for Christmas and they thought it was so good that all of his sisters and his mother asked for the recipe and they make it now too!!

I made this recipe for Christmas Eve dinner. Served with rolls, provalone cheese, horseradish, and bowls to put juice in to dip. It was delicious. I did cut down on the soy sauce a bit - 1/4 cup,and it was still fantastic. Will definitely make again.

I have been making this recipe since it appeared in Taste of Home back in '96 or '97. It is one of my husband's favorites. I add a diced onion & use half the soy sauce. I always add more broth or water so we have plenty for dipping.

this is definetly a five star recipe, but in order to keep my heart a tickin' I cut the soy sauce down to 1/8 cup. Delish! ♥
