French dip

Beef with broth

A French dip is a hot sandwich of thinly sliced roast beef on a French roll, served with a small bowl of the meat's cooking juices (au jus) for dipping.

The sandwich originated in Los Angeles, with competing claims from two restaurants.

Variations include adding cheese or substituting other meats.

I ordered a French dip with extra au jus.
