French Dip

Contrary to what its name suggests, the French Dip did not come from France. This hot American-born sandwich is made with thinly shaved roast beef piled onto a French roll or baguette bread, topped with cooked onions, melted Swiss or Provolone cheese and a side of jus for dipping. The jus is made from the beef's juices that it released and cooked in. The French dip's true origins are a source of debate, but Thrillist seems to believe it's found the real inventor. Whatever the story, we're just glad it exists. Here's the recipe for this beloved hot sammie.
