Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Cool and Cut the Squares: Once the French Dip Squares are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. This will make them easier to cut and handle. Using a sharp knife, slice the dish into squares of your desired size.

Serve: Arrange the French Dip Squares on a serving platter and serve them alongside the warmed beef broth dipping sauce. Encourage your guests to dip the squares into the broth for the full French Dip experience.

Variations:
One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility. Here are some variations and tips to help you customize your French Dip Squares to suit your taste:

Cheese Variations
Provolone Cheese: For a different flavor profile, try using provolone cheese instead of Swiss cheese. Provolone has a mild, creamy taste that pairs well with roast beef.
Cheddar Cheese: If you prefer a sharper flavor, opt for cheddar cheese. It will add a bold taste and a vibrant color to the dish.
Additional Toppings
Sautéed Onions and Mushrooms: Add a layer of sautéed onions and mushrooms between the roast beef and cheese layers. This will add a depth of flavor and a satisfying texture to the squares.
Horseradish Sauce: Spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce over the roast beef before adding the cheese. The horseradish will add a spicy kick that complements the beef.
Dipping Sauce Alternatives
Au Jus: Instead of beef broth, prepare a traditional au jus dipping sauce. Use the drippings from a roast or a store-bought au jus mix for a more authentic French Dip experience.
Garlic Butter Dip: Create a garlic butter dipping sauce by melting butter and adding minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and some fresh herbs like thyme or parsley. This rich dip is a delicious alternative to beef broth.
