Simple Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches With Mushroom Au Jus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 lb roast beef, sandwich meat (we used the thinly sliced deli style)
1 loaf bakery Italian bread (or any other style bread you choose)
8 slices swiss cheese
32 ounces beef broth, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon mccormick garlic and herb seasoning
1/8 cup minced onion
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in olive oil. While they are sauteeing, season with garlic, Mccormick's, salt, and pepper.
Add beef broth (reserve 1/2 a cup), worcestershire sauce, and onion.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup beef broth with cornstarch. Add to the mushroom mixture. Bring to a bowl, then reduce heat and let simmer about 5 minutes.
Add roast beef to mushroom au jus and cover, simmering about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut your Italian bread into 8 slices. If not already split (sandwich style) go ahead and cut them, so you have 16 total slices of bread.
Place bread on cookie sheet. On 8 of the slices (bottom slice) place about 4 or 5 pieces of roast beef on each, then spread mushrooms evenly among each sandwich. Top each sandwich with a slice of swiss cheese.
Place sandwiches in oven and broil just until cheese is melted and bread is a bit toasted, about 5 minutes.
Serve sandwiches with a side of au jus to dip in!
