In downtown LA, Dakota Weiss lived between Philippe The Original and Cole’s French Dip—both of which claim to have invented the iconic sandwich served with au jus. In Capital Coal’s version, Weiss, of course, adds Hatch green chile.

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Hoagie roll, toasted and buttered
  • 5 ounces rare roast beef, slightly warmed and seasoned with salt and pepper

  • 3 tablespoons Hatch extra-hot green chile

AU JUS

  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
