Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef roast (ribeye or sirloin)
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 4 sturdy rolls (hoagie or baguette)
- 1 large onion (sautéed)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the beef roast with salt and pepper, place in a roasting pan, and cook for about 1 hour until desired doneness.
- While the beef roasts, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced onions until softened and golden brown (10-15 minutes).
- Once the beef is done, let it rest for at least 10 minutes. In the same skillet, add minced garlic to the onions, stir in beef broth and soy sauce; bring to a simmer.
- Thinly slice the rested beef against the grain and assemble sandwiches by placing the beef and sautéed onions inside each roll. Serve with bowls of au jus for dipping.
