Despite its name, this sandwich is quintessentially American and was invented in the United States. It's called a French sandwich, likely because of the French bun, which is split in half and filled with juicy beef. Such a large bun holds a lot of filling, making it very filling and delicious. The original recipe uses only thinly sliced roast beef for its spicy, rich flavor. It's placed in a bun (it shouldn't be too soft), and the sandwich is eaten dipped in beef gravy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large, shallow frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and sauté for another minute. Then whisk in the sherry and reduce the liquid. Gradually whisk in the consommé. Bring the sauce to a simmer and simmer until ready to serve the sandwiches.
- Place the roast in a mound on a cutting board or large work surface. Sprinkle the roast beef with steak seasoning or season with salt and pepper. Arrange 4 ramekins or small soup bowls for serving the sauce, 4 plates, and 4 split buns on the counter.
- To assemble a sandwich, take a handful of meat with kitchen tongs, dip it into the liquid sauce, and place it inside the buns. Place extra cups of sauce nearby for dipping the sandwiches.
