I grew up eating French Dips, I order them all the time when we go out to eat… I make them at home all the time. French Dips are one of those meals I don’t think I could ever get bored of eating. You really only need a few ingredients to make this hearty, mouth-watering dinner that the entire family will enjoy and ask for constantly!

French Dips
French Dips have so much flavor thanks to the french onion soup, red wine and a simple sprig of rosemary. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth, the au jus has a wonderful depth of flavor and helps moisten the sandwich, provolone cheese tastes delicious and also helps hold the sandwich together. Sandwich perfection! This is the type of sandwich you will find yourself CRAVING to eat over and over again. Good thing it is super easy to prepare!
Wine
Red wine adds such a richness to these French Dips! I typically will just grab whatever red wine I happen to have on hand. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are both wines that work well with beef so if you aren’t certain what to use, those are both great options.
