Italian Beef Dips
2 pounds deli roast beef or pastrami, shaved
3 cups water
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon each dried marjoram, thyme and oregano
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
½ cup chopped green pepper (optional)
8 slices Provolone or Swiss cheese
8 French rolls, split lengthwise and toasted under broiler

Place sliced beef in Dutch oven; add water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, thyme, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper sauce and green pepper; stir to combine ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; lower heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool; marinate in refrigerator for 4-5 hours or overnight (this step is optional).

When ready to serve, bring meat and Au jus to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove meat to a large bowl using tongs and set aside. Place Au jus back on stove to keep hot.
Toast rolls; then place one slice Provolone on one side of roll; add generous amounts of beef; top sandwich with second side of roll; cut each sandwich diagonally. Ladle Au jus into individual dipping bowls; serve each sandwich with one bowl au jus. Serve immediately with fresh fruit, chips, green salad or Cabbage Salad (recipe below). Yield: 8 sandwiches
