Many years ago, I developed the very first "Dip" sandwich featured on the national sub shop Quizno's menu. It sold millions and millions of sandwiches and it really was quite delicious. I can't share that exact recipe with you but, here's a recipe you can make at home with a bunch of ingredients easily found at your grocery store that is equally as delicious.
French Onion Roast Beef Dip Hero
Serves 4
4 hero rolls
Non stick vegetable spray (as needed)
1 lb cooked roast beef, sliced thin
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 T butter
1 T olive oil
1 1/2 cups beef broth
4 T pesto sauce (available in the refrigerated case at your grocery store)
3 T Hellman's mayonnaise
4 T Regianno Cheese, grated
1. Slice the hero rolls and spray the insides liberally with non-stick vegetable spray.
2. Place the opened rolls in a large saute pan or griddle and grill for 2 minutes or until nicely brown.
3. Remove the heros and melt the butter with the olive oil and heat on medium flame in the same pan.
4. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the onions are golden brown (stir frequently).
5. In a small sauce pan, heat the beef broth for 2 minutes and add the thinly sliced roast beef and cook for 2 minutes.
6. While the beef is heating up, combine the pesto sauce with the mayonnaise and mix well.
7. Paint the inside of the hero rolls with the pesto mayonnaise, pile the roast beef inside and top with the caramelized onions.
8. Sprinkle the grated cheese atop the onions.
9. Serve each hero immediately along with a small cup of the hot beef broth for dipping.
