Victoria's French Dip Sandwiches With Cheese

Sandwiches are more about choosing good ingredients than about mastering complicated techniques.

INGREDIENTS

1 Large Sliced Onion

2 Cloves Minced Garlic

1 Tablespoon Butter

14 Ounces Beef Broth

1/2 Teaspoon Thyme

1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

12 Ounces Cooked & Thinly Sliced Roast Beef

8 Pieces Provolone Cheese

4 French Rolls Split

Preheat your broiler.  In a large saucepan cook the onion and garlic in the hot butter until tender.  Stir in the broth, thyme, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  Add the beef and return to boiling.  Reduce the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes.  Remove the beef and the onion from the broth mixture.  Arrange the beef and onion on the French rolls.  Place two pieces of provolone cheese on top of each sandwich and place on a broiler pan.  Broil 4 inches from the heat for 1 minute or until the cheese has melted.  Remove from the oven and place the tops on the sandwiches.  Pour the beef broth into 4 small bowls for dipping.  Makes 4 sandwiches.
