Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (one package)
  • 10 slices provolone cheese (divided use)
  • 14 ounces sliced deli roast beef
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons dried onion soup mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced and coat in the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the onions are soft and browned but not burnt.
  2. Add 2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper stir to combine, take off the heat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Top the bottom half of the rolls with HALF of the 10 slices provolone cheese and all 14 ounces sliced deli roast beef. Set aside.
  5. Top the roast beef layer with the cooked onions, spreading them out evenly.
  6. Add the remaining sliced provolone cheese, then place the top half of the rolls on top.
  7. In a small bowl stir together ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and 1 ½ Tablespoons dried onion soup mix. I like to brush this mixture on top of the rolls to make sure it’s evenly distributed but you can just pour the butter sauce on top.
  8. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, you want to make sure the foil is not touching the tops of the rolls and bake for 25 minutes. Take the foil off and bake an additional 5 minutes to brown the rolls.
  9. While the rolls are baking, prepare the 1 packet au jus gravy mix per the package directions with the 3 cups water.
