A French dip sandwich, also known as a beef dip, is a hot sandwich consisting of thinly sliced roast beef (or, sometimes, other meats) on a "French roll" or baguette.

Can you use brown gravy instead of au jus? Yes! A 1 ounce packet of brown gravy mix can be used in place of the au jus mix. The flavor may be slightly different because there is a different amount of sodium and a different seasoning base, but it shouldn't change the recipe much and it will still be delicious!

Is au jus the same as beef broth? Au jus uses beef broth or stock, but it is not the same as broth. It uses more ingredients, including drippings from the roasting pan, to make it into a light sauce.

The basic concept is the same at both places – Philippe's serves their French Dip “wet” which means that the roll is dipped in the meat juices and then filled with roast beef, Cole's serves theirs with a side of au jus which diners dip their sandwich into.

In internet slang, BMT is an acronym for biting my tongue. In other places, such as Twitter, BMT often refers to Bone Marrow Transplant. It also stands for Basic Military Training. Related words: adulting.

There is further uncertainty about why the dish is called the French dip. It could be due to Philippe's heritage, the French roll it is served on, or because the police officer's name was French. The second restaurant that claims to have invented the French dip is Cole's, also known as Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet.

Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the “French Dipped Sandwich.” One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven.

What is an interesting fact about the French dip? ›

The restaurant is named after its owner Philippe Mathieu, who is said to have created the French dip. Legend has it that Philippe was serving a policeman when he accidently dropped the roll into a pan of beef drippings. The police officer took the roll anyways and it became a hit.

There are two basic colloquial words. “Sandwich” is fine, as per Ian T's answer, but if you're in the South of England a frequent version is “sarnie” (Bacon Sarnies, Fried Egg Sarnies, for example). If you're in't North, it's often Butty or Buttie (Chip Butty, Ketchup Butty, for instance).

BEEF Most French dip recipes are made with chuck or rump roast. The beef cooks until tender and we find it easiest to pull the beef into big chunks instead of cutting it. As long as it is braised in liquid and extra tender, it will be perfect in French dips!

Alternatively, you can use pre-made beef bouillon granules. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef bouillon granules (or crushed cubes), onion powder, dried parsley flakes, white pepper, garlic powder, and celery salt. Use a whisk or a fork to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Beef broth is made by simmering beef bones, mirepoix (typically onion, carrots, and celery), hearty herbs, and spices in water, to extract flavor into the liquid. Au jus is basically beefed up beef broth. Amplify the savory flavor of beef broth by simmering it with drippings from roast beef (double beef flavor).

Like gravy, jus (pronounced zhoo) starts with the drippings from cooked meat. Unlike gravy, however, it is not thickened with flour; instead, the liquid is reduced until it reaches the desired consistency, which is usually thinner than gravy.

For the au jus: Combine the onion soup, beef broth, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and 3/4 cold water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Taste and season with pepper and more salt if needed.
