Ingredients
Scale
- Roast beef slices
- Fresh steak rolls, toasted
- Sliced provolone cheese
- 1 packet au jus mix
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise per sandwich, optional
- 1 small pad of butter
- Onion powder, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Crushed red pepper, optional
- Water, use more than the packet recommends for extra au jus
- Grilled onions, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Au Jus: Follow the au jus packet instructions, using more water than directed for extra dipping sauce. Add a small pad of butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and crushed red pepper if desired. Let simmer until the flavors combine.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each toasted steak roll. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of au jus over the bottom half of each roll.
- Add the Beef and Cheese: Layer the roast beef slices onto the rolls and top each sandwich with provolone cheese.
- Bake: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt. Spoon a little more au jus over the sandwiches and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches warm with individual bowls of extra au jus for dipping. Add grilled onions if desired.
Notes
- Use extra water when preparing the au jus if you prefer plenty of dipping sauce.
- Fresh steak rolls provide a hearty base and can be lightly toasted before assembling.
- Add grilled onions for extra savory flavor.
- Serve immediately while the provolone is warm and melted.
