French dip sliders are a smaller, bite-sized version of the classic French dip sandwich.

In fact, you might as well go ahead and double the batch while you’re at it.

You could also consider adding a side salad or roasted or sauteed veggies for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Remove from heat, and whisk in mustard and salt.

Brush top and sides of rolls with butter mixture, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the thyme.

Make au jus:

Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium.

Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme.

Bring to a simmer over medium; cook, undisturbed, until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes.

Serve hot sliders with au jus.

French dip is a specific throw in of this style of sandwich.

While similar, the two are different.

Beef gravy is thicker and typically served over meat, mashed potatoes or other sides.

Au jus is thin and broth-like, and served for dipping.
