French dip sandwich recipes are very well-liked. The French dip sandwich was invented by accident by a Frenchman, but he was not living in France. He had emigrated to the United States and was living in Los Angeles. Philippe Mathieu had opened his sandwich bar and delicatessen known as 'Philippe The Original' on North Alameda Street in 1908, but the Eureka moment came ten years later when a policeman came in to buy a beef sandwich.
Philippe unintentionally dropped it in the tray in which the beef had been roasted, yet served it up anyway. The policeman returned with a few friends the next day to try the 'dipped' sandwich so the French dip sandwich was born. The sandwich bar is still there and still serving French dip sandwich recipes nearly 90 years later.
Being French, Philippe would have described his sandwiches 'au jus', which is the same as 'with juice', but lots of Americans do not realize this so ask for their French dip sandwiches 'with au jus'. Nowadays, the sauce is frequently specially made or concocted separately so that it is far more elaborate than merely the meat juices from the pan, but you can make it as complicated or as simple as you want. There is also no reason why you can not make up vegetarian or fish French dip sandwich recipes
