Easy French Dips

I saw a recipe recently in a Family Circle magazine (I think) for French Dips.  I adapted it to make a quicker version, using deli-sliced roast beef.  We have a grocery store nearby that sells nitrate-free deli roast beef.  Here's my easy version.  I hope you try it!

2 T. butter

1 medium onion, sliced

1 cup lager beer
1 can low sodium beef broth
1 T. soy sauce ( this adds a good flavor)

freshly ground pepper

1 lb. thinly sliced deli roast beef

6 split-top rolls

In a non-stick skillet, melt butter & add onion.  Cook, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes.

Add the beer, broth. soy sauce & pepper.  Bring to a simmer & cook 3-5 minutes.

Add the roast beef & heat through.

While the roast beef is heating, toast the rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Divide among the rolls.  Serve the juice in a small bowl for dipping.  I like to add a slice of provolone on top.  Yum!

Note:  You could also saute' green pepper strips & mushrooms with the onions, if you like.
