Toasted Steakhouse Sandwich

Ingredients

Optional Au Jus Dipping Sauce

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon flour

• 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus mix
• 1 2/3 cups water

Secret Sandwich Sauce

• 1/2 cup prepared alfredo sauce
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 dash onion salt or garlic salt

Sandwich

• 1 loaf bakery French bread
• 3/4 lb thin-sliced deli roast beef
• 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the au jus dipping sauce: Melt butter in saucepan; saute onions until tender; add flour and stir; add contents of gravy mix packet then gradually whisk in water; allow to simmer while you make the sandwich.

2. 2

   Prepare the "secret" sauce: Stir together alfredo sauce, mayonnaise, and your choice of onion salt or garlic salt; slice french bread with one horizontal slice to make a top and a bottom half; spread "secret" sauce evenly over both pieces of sliced bread.

3. 3

   Place the prepared sandwich halves (open-faced) upon a baking sheet under the oven broiler for about 1 minute until the sauce is bubbly and the edges of the bread barely start to brown; remove from oven.

4. 4

   Arrange thin sliced roast beef over both sandwich halves then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheeses; broil for another minute (still open-faced) until cheese is bubbly all over and starting to brown; remove from oven.

5. 5

   Put sandwich halves together and return to oven to lightly toast (very, very briefly only) top and bottom of sandwich; remove from oven and slice sandwich into 5 even servings; provide 1/3 cup au jus with each serving.

6. 6

   NOTE: I usually make this sandwich using one large loaf of bakery french bread ~ You could go with smaller baguette buns if you want yours to taste AND look like the Quiznos Steakhouse Dip Sandwich.
