- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a loaf of bread in the center and cut it into 3/4-inch slices nearly all the way down the length of the loaf. But don't cut all the way through to the bottom, just close. Using a small spatula or butter knife, divide about 1/4 of your butter mixture evenly between each cut of the bread.2 loaves Italian bread with a thick crust
- Place a folded piece of roast beef and 1/2 a piece of provolone cheese between every other cut of the bread. Make sure you don't stuff every space so you can make pull-apart sandwiches.1 lb deli roast beef, 1 packet sliced provolone cheese
- Spread another ¼ of the butter mixture onto the top of the bread and fold up the aluminum foil to enclose it completely. Repeat with the other loaf of bread.
- Once both loaves are securely wrapped, place them in the oven on a baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted thoroughly and the crust is crispy.
- While the sandwiches are in the oven, combine the rest of the Au Jus gravy mix with 2 cups of water or beef stock in a small saucepan and stir. Bring to a boil, stirring often, and then bring it down to a simmer to thicken a bit until the bread is done.
- Serve your herb French dip sandwiches with a bit of the Au Jus gravy for dipping and enjoy this hearty and flavorful supper!
