   • In a saucepan, combine water, soy sauce, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, bay leaf, and black pepper.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

2. Prepare the Sandwiches:

   • While the au jus is simmering, thinly slice the roast beef. If you prefer, you can warm the sliced roast beef in the au jus for a few minutes before assembling the sandwiches.

3. Assemble the French Dip Sandwiches:

   • Split the French rolls and lightly toast them if desired.
   • Pile the thinly sliced roast beef onto the rolls, creating generous portions for each sandwich.

4. Serve:

   • Serve each sandwich with a small bowl or cup of the warm au jus for dipping. This is what makes the French Dip sandwich so special—the savory broth elevates the flavors of the tender roast beef and crusty bread.

5. Enjoy!

   • These French Dip sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately while the bread is still warm and crusty, and the beef is tender and juicy.

Tips for Success:

• Choosing the Beef: Opt for thinly sliced roast beef from your deli counter or slice it yourself if you have a roast on hand. The key is to have tender, thinly sliced meat.

• Enhancing Flavor: If you prefer a richer au jus, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of beef broth concentrate to intensify the flavor.

• Serving Suggestions: Pair your French Dip sandwiches with a side of crispy fries, a fresh green salad, or a pickle spear for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This French Dip recipe is a timeless favorite that combines simplicity with incredible flavor. Whether you’re making it for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual lunch with friends and family, it’s sure to be a hit. The rich, savory au jus complements the tender roast beef perfectly, making every bite a delight. We hope you enjoy making and sharing this recipe as much as we do!
