When we have leftover roast beef, we usually have three choices. Hot roast beef sandwiches, if gravy left over, tacos or french dips. My sister-in-law Janet, suggested that she and my brother Jim usually make Philly Cheese sandwiches with left over beef. Sounded good to me! She sautes Peperoncini peppers in a skillet with thinly sliced onions, adds the thin sliced roast beef and cooks just til all is warmed through. Then adds swiss cheese and continues to just warm through. Serve on toasted hoagies, with possibly another slice of swiss cheese. I made french fries to go with. I keep a clean jar in the cupboard with clear oil that I use only for deep frying. I had to place a large piece of duct tape on the jar so I could write on it in bold black marking pen "DO NOT TOUCH"! This was to keep Bob from adding bacon grease or lard to my clean oil, which he continually does. So, I fried up some french fries to go along with the sandwiches and a great meal was had by all. Thanks, Janet.
I do want to tell you about my french dips. Slice your beef up thin. Make an au jus with either beef broth or Magi. I personally prefer a couple teaspoons of beef base mixed with water and brought to a boil. Reduce to low and add your sliced beef.........do not boil your beef.......this is just to warm it through. Toast your buns, pile on the beef and use the au jus for dipping. So easy.......I'm sure you all know how to make these. Serve with salad or french fries.........as long as Bob stays out of your frying oil!
What is Magi?
ReplyDeleteIts actually spelled Maggi Jugo.........from Mexico. It is a liquid beef base. I use it alot for flavor in beef dishes. I'm glad to hear you can buy it here in the states.....I brought mine from Mexico.
ReplyDeleteyummy, one of my favourite meals, and of course Peter would eat chips (fries) with everything.
ReplyDeleteI did not know how to make a french dip. My cooking has not gotten any better=). On the roast from yesterday, how big of a roast was that?
