I love roast beef but since I primarily cook for just myself anymore, I like to morph the leftovers into different types of meals. This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover roast and most times I freeze the extra servings for a quick and easy dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup sherry (or dry white wine)
  • 1 ounce au jus gravy package
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • hoagie roll (or sourdough, or baguette)
  • leftover roast beef, sliced or shredded
  • mozzarella slices (or provolone)
