Ingredients

For the Sandwiches
4 subway style rolls
400 g thinly sliced rare roast beef
8 slices of jarlsberg cheese
3 brown onions
100 g soft butter
Horseradish cream

For the Beef Jus
500 ml of good quality beef bone broth (available from good butchers and supermarkets)
1 brown onion, diced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp olive oil

Method

1

Start making the beef jus. Heat a medium saucepan with olive oil and add the diced onion cooking over a medium heat. Cook until the onion is soft and starting to brown.

4

Put the liquid back in a pan, check for seasoning with salt and pepper and keep warm.

5

In a separate pan add 50 grams of butter and 3 brown onions halved and thinly sliced. Gently cook the onions for about 45 mins until nicely caramelised.

6

Slice the rolls lengthways and spread remaining butter.

7

Place the rolls under a grill butter side up to lightly toast.

8

Remove from the grill and spread the toasted sides with horseradish cream and grain mustard.

9

Take the roast beef and divide equally between the sandwiches. Top with a slice of jarlsberg cheese and place back under the grill to gently melt.

10

Once the cheese has just started to melt remove from the grill and top with a tablespoon of the caramelised onions.

11

Close the sandwich, slice in two and serve each sandwich with a small bowl of beef jus to dip the sandwich into between bites.
