What is better than a French Dip Sandwich? How about French Dip with an Easy Homemade Au Jus?? This recipe is so simple you won’t believe it, and once you try homemade Au Jus, you’ll never go back to a mix!

“Au Jus” is a French term that means “with juice”. It sounds fancy, but in reality, is very basic. When I was a kid, my Dad made French dip sandwiches for us after my mom cooked pot roast in her pressure cooker.

I absolutely LOVED French dip sandwiches and savored every bite. I’ve carried this tradition on in our family and make French Dip Sandwiches with Au Jus whenever we have leftover pot roast. French Dip’s were a regular on our meal rotation when our kids were growing up. It was always quick and easy, and (BONUS!!) everyone loved it.

There are a few different ways to make a French Dip sandwich with beef Au Jus. Deli meat works if you don’t have leftover roast. As a rule of thumb, I usually purchase about 1/3 lb of deli meat (roast beef sliced very thin) per person. I like a crusty French roll, (toasted on a grill to keep the bread from getting soggy), and of course, the Au Jus! Any type of roll works, and in a pinch, a package of Au Jus mix works, but once you make this sauce, I don’t think you will ever go back.

When our kids grew up and were able to drive home for lunch, I often made French dip sandwiches for their friends. It was quick and easy, and all kids love this meal. One of the kids named it “Foster Friday” and it stuck. I always served French Dips, Tater Tots (because all teenage boys LOVE Tater Tots) homemade fry sauce, fruit or salad and always always always, Tried and True Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Taking your French Dip game to the next level is very easy. First, cook a roast. I use the Instant Pot to cut down on time, but the oven method works too. I don’t cook the carrots and potatoes when I make a pot roast for French Dip sandwiches.

Follow the directions on the pot roast recipe, shred the meat, removing any visible signs of fat from the meat and discard. There should be juice remaining in the pot or pan. Drain the juice, removing any fat as well. You can quickly remove any residual grease from the juice by placing the juice into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes or use a fat separator (which also comes in handy when making gravies). The fat will rise to the top of the bowl or jar of juice and can easily be removed with a spoon and discarded.

If you don’t want to use the juice from the roast, or you purchased deli meat, follow the directions on the Au Jus recipe attached. This recipe calls for water and beef flavoring, instead of the traditional method of making Au Jus with beef drippings. No beef drippings required to make this easy Au Jus recipe!

I usually purchase crusty French rolls from a local bakery. If you want to make your own rolls for French Dip sandwiches, ABK’s No Fail French Bread (photo below) can easily be made into French rolls. Just separate the dough into small pieces, and follow the recipe’s directions for baking. I can usually get about 12+ generous size French rolls out of one recipe.

The secret to taking a French Dip sandwich from ho-hum to This is THE BEST French Dip Sandwich EVER is first, make homemade Au Jus. Then, using tongs, dip the meat into the warm Au Jus, let excess juice drip back into pan of sauce and place the meat inside of the toasted bun. Your family will think they have died and gone to heaven. Juicy meat, on a slightly softened toasted bun. Serve with a hot cup of Au Jus for more dipping!

If you love melted cheese and grilled onions you can add those as well, but I think a French Dip is best enjoyed with meat, bun and lots of piping hot Au Jus on the side!

The Asr prayer (Arabic: صلاة العصر ṣalāt al-ʿaṣr, "afternoon prayer") is one of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer). As an Islamic day starts at sunset, the Asr prayer is technically the fifth prayer of the day.[1][better source needed] If counted from midnight, it is the third prayer of the day.[2][better source needed][3][better source needed]

The Asr prayer consists of four obligatory rakat. An additional four rakat are recommended to be performed before the obligatory rakat.[4] As with Zuhr prayer, if it is performed in congregation, the imam is silent except when announcing the takbir,[5] i'tidal,[6] and taslim.[7]

The period of Asr prayer begins approximately when the sun is halfway down from noon to sunset (various branches of Islam differ on the starting point; some say that it begins when the shadow of an object equals its actual length plus its shadow during noon, others say that the actual length must be doubled).[citation needed] Asr prayer ends at sunset, when Maghrib prayer begins.[citation needed] Muslims are also allowed to perform Zuhr and Asr prayers one after another, so they may perform the Asr prayer before the actual period begins.[citation needed] Barring the Hanafi school, which forbids prayer combination, Sunni Muslims may only do this if they are traveling and incapable of performing the prayers separately.[citation needed] Amongst Sunnis, Salafis allow the combining of prayers for a wide range of reasons such as when various needs or difficulties arise (taking precedence from Hanbali and Shafiite schools).[citation needed]

The Asr daily prayer is mentioned as the middle prayer in the Qur'an at sura 2 (Al-Baqara) and it is emphasized on the Muslims to protect this prayer meaning that it should be performed at all costs, ayat 238.[8] al-Asr is also the title of the 103rd chapter (sura) of the Qur’ān.

The five daily prayers collectively are one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam, in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Practices of the Religion (Furū al-Dīn) according to Shia Islam.

The Asr prayer consist of four obligatory rakats, along with two or four sunnah rakats preceding it. Although, according to some madh'habs, it may be reduced to two rakaʿāt when travelling.[citation needed]

According to the Ja'fari and Zaydi schools of thought the time period within which the Asr prayer must be recited is the following:

However, it is very important to recite the prayer as soon as the time begins. Letter 52 of Nahj al-Balagha contains instruction of Ali to his governors on the timings of salat, "The Asr prayers can be performed till the sun is still bright and enough time of the day is left for a person to cover a distance of six miles."

The time period within which the Asr prayer must be recited is the following:

The Islamic prophet Muhammad said, "He who observes Al-Bardayn (i.e., Fajr and ‘Asr prayers) will enter Jannah."[11]

In another hadith: Muhammad said 'He who misses his Asr Salat (i.e. performs it after its specified time) is as if he had lost his wife, children and all his wealth.’ (Sahih Muslim)
