A French dip, also called a beef dip, is a hot American sandwich of thinly sliced roast beef, sometimes with Swiss cheese and onions, served on a French roll or baguette with a side cup of the beef broth left over from cooking, known as au jus, meaning with juice, into which the sandwich is dipped while eating. Despite the name, it is considered an American invention associated with Los Angeles, the word French in its name referring to the bread rather than to any French origin, and several Los Angeles establishments have separately claimed to have created it.
