French dip sandwich recipes are very popular. The French dip sandwich was discovered by accident by a Frenchman, but he was not living in France. He had emigrated to the United States and was resident in Los Angeles. Philippe Mathieu had opened his sandwich bar and delicatessen known as 'Philippe The Original' on North Alameda Street in 1908, but the Eureka moment came ten years later when a policeman came in to order a beef sandwich.
Philippe unintentionally dropped it in the pan in which the beef had been roasted, but served it up anyway. The policeman came back with a few friends the next day to try the 'dipped' sandwich so the French dip sandwich was born. The sandwich bar is still there and still making French dip sandwich recipes nearly 90 years later.

Being French, Philippe would have described his sandwiches 'au jus', which means 'with juice', but lots of Americans do not realize this so ask for their French dip sandwiches 'with au jus'. Nowadays, the sauce is often specially prepared or concocted separately so that it is far more elaborate than just the meat juices from the pan, but you can make it as complex or as simple as you wish. There is also no reason why you can not make up vegetarian or fish French dip sandwich recipes
