Gourmet French Dip

Gourmet French Dip
Directions
- Mix garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary in a small bowl. Spread over the meat. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight or for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to start cooking, take the meat out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat the roast with vegetable oil and then transfer it onto the wire rack. Roast it for 75 to 95 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Move the meat to a cutting board and let it cool down completely before carving it. (TIP: This dish can be prepared up to three days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. If you plan to serve it cold, remove the fat cap beforehand.)
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter (or beef drippings) then sprinkle in flour. Whisk thoroughly until thin paste forms. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of prepared beef broth. Whisk to combine. Once prepared beef broth is incorporated, pour in remaining broth. Bring mixture to boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay hoagie rolls open side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from oven.
- Arrange meat and 2 slices of provolone on the bottom buns. Spread mayo on the top buns and set aside. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and assemble the sandwich using the top bun.
- Serve sandwiches with small bowls of au jus for dipping. (TIP: Mix fresh horseradish with the mayonnaise for a bit of low-grade heat.)
