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

Ingredients

1 beef rump roast or bottom round roast (4 pounds)
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 large sweet onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices
6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
5 cups water
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown roast on all sides in oil; drain. In a large skillet, saute onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until tender. Add the water, soy sauce, soup mix, garlic and, if desired, browning sauce. Pour over roast.

Bake, covered, until meat is tender, 2-1/2 hours.
Let meat stand for 10 minutes, then thinly slice. Return meat to pan juices. Split bread lengthwise; cut into 3-in. sections. Spread with remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Place on a baking sheet.
Broil bread 4-6 in. from the heat until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Top with beef and onions; sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Serve with pan juices.
