# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced
02 -
8 pieces of frozen garlic Texas Toast
03 -
1 packet au jus gravy mix
04 -
3 cups cold water
05 -
8 slices of provolone cheese
06 -
Optional: A sprinkle of dried parsley for topping
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment to make cleanup simple.
02 -
Place the frozen Texas Toast on the tray and follow package directions to bake. Flip them during the cooking to get golden edges, usually around 8 minutes.
03 -
As the bread is baking, combine the au jus mix with 3 cups of cold water. Prep it according to the package, then let it stay warm on the stovetop.
04 -
Once the au jus is warm, add the beef to it. Let the slices soak for a bit and heat up completely.
05 -
Lay the cooked Texas Toast back on the baking tray. Put half a slice of cheese on each piece first.
06 -
With tongs, grab the warm roast beef from the au jus. Evenly stack it across all 8 pieces of toast.
07 -
Add the remaining half slices of provolone over the beef to complete the cheesy layer.
08 -
Put it all in the oven again for a few minutes. Heat until the cheese melts and shows a light golden shade.
09 -
Take everything out of the oven and, if you like, scatter a little parsley on top. Serve right away with bowls of warm au jus for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Switch up the classic French dip by using crispy garlic toast instead of soft buns.
02 -
Keep some extra au jus handy! Dipping is the heart of this dish.
03 -
Any good-quality deli beef works great, so pick your favorite brand.
04 -
Eat them fresh, while the melted cheese and crunchy toast are at their best.
