Ingredients

GARLIC BREAD

4 French sub rolls *Note 1
5-6 large garlic cloves, minced
8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp (OPTIONAL) chopped fresh parsley

PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP

4 slices leftover prime rib, ¼ inch - ½ inch thick *Note 2
6-8 slices Swiss or provolone cheese
1 batch Beef Au Jus, hot *Note 3

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the bread in half (lengthwise) and place on the baking sheet.
Add the butter, minced garlic, and parsley to a small bowl and mix to combine. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the rolls.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until they're a bit brown on the outside and still soft in the center. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes for an extra crispy crust.
Remove the top pieces of bread and set aside. Top the bottom pieces of bread with 1 slices of prime rib and return to the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, to re-heat the prime rib. (*Note 4)
Layer the cheese across the top pieces of bread and add to the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and carefully place the top pieces of bread on the bottom pieces of bread to form the sandwich. Let stand for 2-3 minutes to cool down. Serve immediately with a side of au jus.

Notes

Note 1 - You can also use Hoagie Rolls, pre-made garlic bread, large French bread, ciabatta, or any other sturdy bread.

Note 2 - Any leftover prime rib will work well. Keep in mind the prime rib rub utilized will influence the final flavor of the sandwich.

Note 3 - Leftover Prime Rib Au Jus, Store-bought Au Jus, or homemade Au Jus all work well.

Note 4 - Total time will depend on the thickness of the prime rib slices. Also keep in mind when you dip the sandwich in the hot au jus it will further heat up the beef.
