Ingredients
- 1 box frozen garlic Texas Toast, 8 slices
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 pound sliced deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Dried parsley, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the frozen garlic Texas Toast, usually around 425°F (220°C).
- Arrange the frozen Texas Toast slices on a baking sheet and bake according to the package directions until lightly golden and crisp.
- While the toast is baking, prepare the au jus. Whisk the au jus gravy mix with 3 cups of cold water in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally, and cook according to the gravy packet directions.
- Remove the Texas Toast from the oven. Divide the sliced roast beef evenly among the 8 pieces of toast.
- Place one slice of provolone cheese over each portion of roast beef.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 2–4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
- Serve the Texas Toast French Dips immediately with warm au jus on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Bake the Texas Toast until crisp enough to hold the roast beef and au jus without becoming soggy too quickly.
- Use thinly sliced deli roast beef for the easiest assembly and tender texture.
- Provolone gives the sandwiches a classic French dip flavor, but Swiss cheese can also be used.
- Prepare the au jus while the Texas Toast is baking to save time.
- Serve the au jus hot in small bowls for easy dipping.
- For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or mushrooms before adding the cheese.
