A delightful twist on the classic roast beef sandwich, featuring a flavorful herb-infused dipping sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried herbs to the saucepan. Sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from browning too much.
Pour in the red wine, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Increase the heat and let it simmer until reduced by half.
Reducing the liquid intensifies the flavors, so don't skip this step.
Add the beef broth and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Taste the dip and add salt or pepper if necessary.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even warming.
Slice the baguette and spread the herbed cream cheese on each side.
Spread the cheese evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Layer the roast beef onto the baguette slices and close the sandwiches.
Arrange the beef slices neatly for a better presentation.
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 3 minutes.
Keep an eye on the sandwiches to avoid over-toasting.
Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the herb-infused dip for dipping.
Garnish the dip with a sprig of fresh thyme for a touch of elegance.
