Ingredients
- 500g roast beef, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, sautéed
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for toasting the sandwiches.
- Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a medium skillet with a small amount of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the beef broth and keep it warm, ensuring it's ready for dipping.
- Split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes until they're crisp and golden.
- Layer the sliced roast beef generously onto each toasted hoagie roll, distributing it evenly.
- Top the roast beef with the caramelized onions and sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the meat.
- Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately with a small bowl of warm beef broth on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Choose high-quality roast beef: For the best flavor, opt for freshly sliced deli roast beef or leftover roast beef from a previous meal.
- Caramelization is key: Take your time when sautéing the onions. Low and slow is the secret to achieving those golden, sweet caramelized onions that add depth to your sandwich.
- Toast the rolls carefully: Watch your hoagie rolls closely when toasting to ensure they become crisp and golden without burning.
- Temperature matters: Keep your beef broth warm but not boiling to create the perfect dipping consistency.
- Cheese selection: While provolone is delicious, feel free to experiment with other melting cheeses like Swiss or mozzarella for variety.
- Serve immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed right out of the oven when the cheese is still melty and the bread is crisp.
- Customize your dip: For an extra flavor boost, add a touch of herbs or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to your beef broth.
