Roast Beef Melts with Au Jus Dipping Sauce

These were TASTY! My sister said ” The red pepper jelly gave you an unexpected twist when it hit your taste buds. They were delicious”! We couldn’t agree more, a nice change from the ordinary.  PS that jus was so good that we might have, possibly, just maybe, ate it like soup when we finished our sandwiches…..maybe 😉
