Sunday’s are perfect days for roasting something in the oven. This makes a wonderful roast and potatoes kind of meal or a Beef Dip. Surprisingly Beef Dip; AKA French Dip was invented in Los Angeles and not France. Philippe’s, a cheaper Chinatown restaurant claims they were the first to make it, although Cole’s Tavern also claims the title.
This recipe is decades old and a family favorite. As always, whenever we can, we try to make Gluten and Gluten Free recipes wen possible. The Carb count is very close in both recipes with the addition of a little cornstarch in the Gluten Free recipe (GF soup is not as thick as the one with Gluten).
Serve sliced beef with Elsie's Potatoes or Beef Dip style with baguettes, GF buns, coleslaw, or marinated onions, Swiss cheese.
