Blackstone French Dip sandwiches are an easy lunch or dinner option with tender roast beef, melted Havarti, and crispy, buttery toasted rolls. The griddle’s high heat quickly warms the meat, creating a flavorful crust, and the au jus flavors every single bite. If you are cooking for a crowd or just craving a hearty sandwich to make for your family, this recipe is a great way to bring restaurant-quality flavors to your outdoor cooking setup.
Blackstone French Dip Sandwiches
Using the Blackstone griddle for this sandwich gives you precise control over the cooking process. We like to toast the buns right on the griddle; it has a perfectly crispy surface that holds up well to all the juicy meat and au jus.
The secret to an excellent French Dip is not overcooking the meat and spring for the high-quality au jus. Heat it to a simmer before you start cooking the sandwiches. It helps heat the meat, and the sizzle from the jus on the griddle will melt the cheese. Want to amp up the flavor? Sauté some onions and bell peppers. They both make great additions!
This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner, game-day meal, or outdoor cookout. The simple ingredients come together for a sandwich loaded with flavor and texture, which makes it a go-to choice for any occasion.

- Cover them with the large dome lid to keep warm.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add your meat. Let it get hot and sizzling and flip it once so both sides get hot.

- Once the cheese is melted, place the meat onto the toasted hoagie rolls.
- Serve with the remaining au jus for dipping.
- Optional - saute some onions and bell peppers on the other side of the griddle and add those on top of the meat, under the cheese, for extra flavor.
