NATIONAL FRENCH DIP DAY
On November 12th, warm up some au jus and celebrate National French Dip Day!
Served up hot, tender slices of beef or pork on a French roll make up a delicious sandwich. Sometimes cheese is added. However, the key ingredients are the au jus and spicy mustard. The combination of tender beef swimming in a flavor bath of pan drippings absorbed into the crusty roll makes the French dip a decadent, multi-napkin experience everyone needs to have. And if you've never had one before, follow the instructions below and find one.
