Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Recipe Makes: 4 sandwiches

Equipment

  • oven
  • butter knife
  • large baking sheet
  • large plate
  • paper towels
  • tongs
  • serving plates

Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie rolls (halved lengthwise)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
  • jus (made from packet or this recipe)
  • 1 pound thinly-sliced deli roast beef
  • 8 slices provolone

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Make jus according to instructions on packet or in recipe.
  • While jus simmers, divide 4 tablespoons butter between cut sides of 4 hoagie rolls, spreading butter evenly across bread. Place rolls cut-side down on baking sheet.
  • Place baking sheet in preheated oven and toast rolls 5 minutes or until golden.
  • While rolls toast, place 1 pound thinly-sliced deli roast beef in jus, submerging deli slices completely. Let roast beef rest in jus 2 to 3 minutes or until warmed.
  • Line large plate with 2 to 3 layers paper towels. Remove slices of roast beef from jus and place deli meat on paper towels, allowing excess jus to drain.
  • Once hoagie rolls are warm and golden, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Transfer top rolls to serving plates. Flip bottom rolls over, cut-side facing up.
  • Arrange slices of roast beef evenly on top of bottom rolls.
  • Cover roast beef evenly with 2 slices provolone per sandwich (8 slices provolone total).
  • Return baking sheet to oven. Bake sandwiches approximately 5 minutes or until cheese has melted as desired.
  • Once cheese has melted, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Place each roll top cut-side down on top of melted cheese. Serve immediately with jus for dipping.
