How to Make French Dip Grilled Cheese
  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat. This ensures an even cook and helps achieve that perfect crispy texture for your sandwiches.
  2. Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Heat on medium until warm, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will create a golden, crunchy crust that’s irresistible when grilled.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches by placing slices of roast beef and Swiss cheese between two pieces of sourdough, with the buttered sides facing out. Make sure to pile on the fillings for a hearty bite!
  5. Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is gooey and melty. Keep an eye on them to get that perfect crunch.
  6. Serve with the warm beef broth for dipping. This adds an extra layer of flavor that takes your French Dip Grilled Cheese to a whole new level.
