Prime Rib French Dip

Directions

  1. Caramelize the onions. Heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown.
  2. Prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine beef broth, beef stock, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  3. Warm the West Creek® Prime Rib beef. Place the sliced prime rib into the simmering au jus for 1–2 minutes, just until heated through. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Toast the rolls. Split hoagie rolls and lightly toast under the broiler or on a griddle.
  5. Build the sandwich. Layer warmed prime rib onto each roll. Top with provolone and caramelized onions. Melt the cheese under the broiler for 1–2 minutes if desired.
  6.  Serve. Pour the au jus into ramekins and serve alongside the sandwiches with kettle chips.
