Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 long brioche rolls
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 16 sliced roast beef
  • 120g / 1 cup Comte cheese grated or any cheese you love

For the dip

  • 1 concentrated beef gravy pot by Knorr or 250ml/1 cup canned beef consomme
  • 250ml / 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp sherry or dry red wine optional
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan combine the concentrated beef gravy pot with water and bring to a boil, lower then heat and and pour the sherry if using, let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with pepper. Keep warm.
  • Set the oven in the broiler/grill mode. Cut the brioche rolls in half and spread the butter on the inside of the rolls. Arrange 4 slices of thinly sliced roast beef on each roll, the slices should overlap. Sprinkle with grated cheese and transfer to a baking sheet. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve with the warm dip.

Notes

*If using leftover gravy from roast beef, simply dilute it with beef broth to serve as the dip for this sandwich.
