Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box frozen garlic Texas Toast (8 slices)
  • 1 pound sliced deli roast beef
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Au Jus Sauce

  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 3 cups cold water

Optional Garnish

  • Dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking the toast.
  2. Cook the Texas Toast: Bake the frozen garlic Texas Toast according to the package instructions, typically around 8 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness and browning.
  3. Prepare the au jus: While the toast is baking, mix the au jus gravy packet with 3 cups of cold water as directed on the packet to create the dipping sauce.
  4. Warm the roast beef: Once the au jus is ready, warm the sliced deli roast beef by briefly dipping or heating it in the hot au jus to make it tender and flavorful.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches – first cheese layer: Place a half slice of provolone cheese on top of each piece of cooked Texas Toast to start layering.
  6. Add the roast beef: Evenly distribute the warmed roast beef slices over the provolone-lined Texas Toast slices.
  7. Add the second cheese layer: Top all the toasts with the remaining half slices of provolone cheese for a cheesy sandwich experience.
  8. Melt the cheese: Bake the assembled sandwiches in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the provolone cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly.
  9. Garnish and serve: Optionally sprinkle dried parsley over the melted cheese for color and flavor. Serve immediately with the warm au jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use good quality deli roast beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Make sure not to overbake the toast to avoid it becoming too hard.
  • The au jus can be warmed in a saucepan or microwave if needed before serving.
  • Optional: Add sautéed onions or peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh when the cheese is melted and the toast is crisp.
