French Canadian Dip

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups sliced onion
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 8 1/2 cups beef stock
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 1/4 pounds Montreal smoked meat (smoked brisket)
• 1/3 pound thinly sliced Canadian bacon
• 10 (7 inch) baguettes, slit lengthwise but still attached

Directions

Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pour beef stock, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into onion mixture; add bay leaves. Drop in Montreal smoked meat and Canadian bacon one slice at a time. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Use tongs to remove meat from the stock and distribute evenly inside sandwich baguettes. Remove bay leaves; ladle stock into individual bowls for dipping. Serve hot.
