Serve with our delicious and refreshing Creamy Cucumber Salad. Thinly sliced roast beef, piled inside a buttery roll and topped with melty cheese, then dipped into a savoury beef broth, this is what French Dip sandwich is all about. While I usually avoid sandwiches for lunch I break my rule for hot sandwiches. And when it comes to hot sandwiches, French Dip is at the top of my list. It’s got absolutely everything I love. Juicy roast beef slices, melted cheese and a flavourful dip. The latter is what makes this sandwich in my humble opinion.
How French is French Dip Sandwich?
Not at all! This delicious sandwich is an all American invention. The legend says it got its name because the sandwich was served in a French-style bread aka baguette. It was invented in LA and you can tell the sandwich is very popular by the fact that two separate restaurants claim to be the creator of it. Now that we’ve got the origin story out of the way, let’s talk about how to make it, so the taste lives up to its fame.
Serving Suggestions:
Traditionally you’d be offered other soup or salad to go alongside your sandwich in a restaurant. While I think both are great options, I personally prefer a salad as this sandwich is quite filling. In the summer when vegetables are abundant this Tomato Salad with Herbs is a great choice. While autumn and winter demand a more seasonal salad like this Rainbow Slaw made with cabbage, carrots, apples, beets and more! Favourite Hot Sandwich Recipes:
