Johnny’s French Dip sandwich is a homemade sandwich that you can make that tastes savory and wonderful. It can be made with beef or pork, depending on your preference. We like to serve it on a good quality bun, with melted cheese and sliced onions that have been cooked low and slow with the meat in the Dutch oven. This is a recipe you’ll want to make again.
French Dip Concentrate
A French Dip Concentrate can be used to give meat a bold, beefy flavor. It can also help to tenderize and flavor the meat as a marinade, bringing out its full beef flavor in every bite. Being a concentrate typically means it needs to have something added to it such as water or beef broth. Using a concentrate can be a good way to go because it all-inclusive or close to being so.

Johnny’s French Dip Concentrate can be purchased in the condiments section of grocery stores such as Kroger, Meijer and Walmart. It can also be purchased in some online retailers. Their 8-ounce jugs can sometimes be found in 6 packs if you love the stuff or if you plan to serve a large group of people and need a larger quantity.
Johnny’s French Dip Sandwich
Johnny’s French Dip sandwich is like any other wonderful French dip sandwich, but it uses Johnny’s concentrate which can be found in the condiment section at participating local grocery stores. So, the reason we refer to it as Johnny’s is because it uses the Johnny’s name brand concentrate.
Quick and Easy French Dip Sandwiches
If you don’t have access to Johnny’s sauce concentrate, you can make your own au jus sauce by cooking your meat in the following ingredients. Once the meat is done, just serve the liquid in a dipping bowl alongside your French dip sandwiches:
Homemade French dip
salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp oregano
1 packet Onion soup mix
3 tbsp garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup Coca cola
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is one of our favorite things to use to make French dip sandwiches. It is perfect roasted low and slow in the Dutch oven and is great when cooked for a day in the smoker or crockpot too. There’s something about the deliciously tenderized flavor of the meat and occasional burnt edges that is crave worthy.
French Dip au Jus
French dip au jus makes for a wonderful sandwich served with a side of dip sauce or juice. One tip that we believe kicks the French dip sandwich up a notch is to serve it with the marinaded onion slices as well as melted cheese such as Provolone, Mozzarella, or Swiss cheese. To toast the bun and melt the cheese you can prepare the sandwich and then place it under the boiler for a couple of minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
