Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9"-x-13" baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the bottom of the pan.
12 Buns
To Caramelize Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and 2 sprigs thyme, water (this helps them brown) and season with salt and pepper.
1/2 Cup Butter, 1 Onion, 4 Sprigs Thyme, 1 teaspoon Water, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and turn slightly golden. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
For The Sandwiches
Spread an even layer of mustard onto bread. Top with a layer of roast beef and a layer of provolone. Top with caramelized onions, then cover with the tops of the rolls.
Melt all but one tablespoon of the remaining butter and mix with 1 teaspoon worcestershire, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and the toasted sesame seeds. Spread over the buns. Cover with foil. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle the parsley on top after baking.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 2 sprigs thyme, stripped from stem. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until reduced slightly. Serve squares with au jus on the side for dipping.
