French Dip Panini

4 Tbsp butter, softened

1 shallot or onion, finely chopped

1 Tbsp cornstarch

2 c beef broth

1 lb thinly sliced roast beef

submarine buns, hotdog buns, French bread, etc.

4 oz sliced pepper jack cheese

In medium saucepan, melt 2 T butter over medium heat.  Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until translucent, 1-2 minutes.  Add the cornstarch and cook for 1 minute.  Whisk in the beef broth

Add the roast beef to the sauce and warm over low heat. Preheat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat.  Spread remaining butter on the split sides of bread.  Fill with sliced cheese and sliced beef.  Place the Panini on the hot pan.  Press down with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes then flip the Panini and press down again with spatula until both sides are golden brown.  Remove the Panini from the heat and divide the sauce among small bowls for  dipping.

**If I'm making a lot, I put them on a tray in the warmed oven until I'm done with them all....these are DELICIOUS!
