Super fast and easy French Dip

A french dip sandwich is a very straightforward old school sandwich that I had never considered making at home until this week. If you ask the chefs on YouTube, they'll show you how to roast a giant chunk of beef and bake your own rolls. I, and presumably you, am not interested in doing that. I can offer you a sandwich that's at least 90% as good as the all day effort version, takes just a few minutes, and only dirties one pan.

Ingredients

• 1-2 pounds (most of a kg) of the best roast beef your local deli counter sells, sliced thin
• 1 large onion chopped into small pieces with butter or oil to saute.
• Sliced Provolone cheese
• 4 large crusty rolls or 2 small loaves of bread halved
• 1 tsp (5 mL) Better than Bouillon - Roasted beef flavor
• 8 oz (250 mL) hot water
• Salt/Pepper/dry herbs/creamy horseradish sauce/literally anything you can think of

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. That's like the "once upon a time" of recipes.
2. At my grocery store, they sell loaves of bread that still need 10 minutes of baking to finish. If you can't find those, buy rolls or any bread with a nice crusty outside. Put them on a cookie sheet in the oven for a few minutes until the middle is hot.
3. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet or saute pan. Add onion and salt. Cook over medium heat to soften or higher heat to add some color.
4. Add roast beef and provolone to skillet.
5. When cheese is melted and meat is warm, transfer to bread.
   
6. Mixing the water and bouillon listed will give you about what a restaurant would serve 4 people. Adjust the volume and intensity as desired.
