Make dinner

  1. 01

    Bring the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to a gentle simmer in a wide skillet.

  2. 02

    Add the roast beef in loose folds and warm gently just until steaming; avoid boiling so it stays tender.

  3. 03

    Pile the hot beef into the rolls and divide the jus among four small bowls.

  4. 04

    Serve immediately with the jus for dipping, kettle chips, and dill pickle spears.

Useful swaps

  • Use gluten-free rolls and Worcestershire sauce when needed.
  • Add prepared horseradish at the table for a sharper sandwich.

Why this is a good weeknight call

Only 15 minutes are hands-on. It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
