French Dip Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound deli roast beef, sliced thin
• 4 whole sub rolls or baguette, halved lengthwise

Instructions

1. 1

   Pour 2 cups of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce into a small saucepan and set it on the stove over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Mince 2 garlic cloves until the pieces are smaller than a grain of rice, then add them to the broth.

3. 3

   Bring the broth to a gentle simmer—you'll see small bubbles breaking the surface steadily—then reduce the heat to low and keep it warm, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Split 4 sub rolls or baguette pieces lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a sheet pan, then set the pan under a preheated broiler 4 inches from the heat source.

5. 5

   Broil until the bread turns golden brown with dark speckles on the cut surfaces, about 2 to 3 minutes—watch to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Remove the pan from the broiler and divide 1 pound of thin-sliced deli roast beef evenly across the 4 bread pieces, piling the meat into a mound on the bottom half of each.

7. 7

   Cover each sandwich with the top half of bread, then place each sandwich on a serving plate with a small bowl of warm au jus positioned to the right for dipping.
