How to Serve French Dip Sandwich

To serve French Dip Sandwiches, place the shredded beef on a toasted roll. You can add some fresh herbs for garnish if you like. Make sure to offer a small bowl of au jus on the side for dipping. This adds more flavor and makes every bite even better!

How to Store French Dip Sandwich

If you have leftovers, store the shredded beef and au jus in airtight containers in the fridge. The beef will stay good for up to three days. You can reheat the beef in a microwave or on the stove when you’re ready to eat again. The rolls are best fresh, so consider toasting new ones for serving.

Tips to Make French Dip Sandwich

• Use a roast with good marbling, as it will make the beef more tender and flavorful.
• Let the beef rest for a few minutes before shredding to keep it juicy.
