French Dip Crescents

By Addie

I love a French Dip. I love a Crescent Roll. The two together? Marriage made in food heaven. No joke, folks. This is a good one. French Dip Crescents for the win!

MY NOTES: Use homemade bread dough and make this in stromboli form or calzone form. Yum!

Ingredients

• 2 packages crescent rolls, 8 count
• 1 pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced
• 4 ounces Swiss or provolone cheese, cut in 16 equal sized pieces
• Optional: Horseradish Sauce
• Optional: Au Jus for dipping

Preparation

Step 1

Unroll crescents onto a large cookie sheet. Spread a small dab of horseradish on each crescent, then place a slice of roast beef and a piece of cheese on each crescent. Roll crescents starting from the wide end and ending at the narrow end.

Bake at 375 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes, until crescents are a golden color. Serve with Au Jus and enjoy!

Easy Au Jus. How to Make a Simple Au Jus Without Pan Drippings


Olive oil, just enough to saute
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (I use jarred)
1/8 cup white wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon flour


Caramelize the onions in a small amount of olive oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two more.

Deglaze the pot with white wine, then add Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Add beef broth and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Strain broth and then return it to pot. Add flour and simmer an additional 5 minutes.
