Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
Tender beef, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and Au Jus for dipping! Served on a bun, let the slow cooker do all the work!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lb beef chuck roast, trim fat
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 onions, sliced
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- salt/pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich rolls (I find ours in the bakery)
- 4 provolone cheese slices
Instructions
- Trim excess fat off roast and sprinkle desired amount of salt/pepper on top.
- In a bowl, combine the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. *If you do not have Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce (such as A-1) can be substituted.
- In a skillet (I use a cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Sear the roast until all sides have a deep brown color.
- Transfer roast to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet used previously, add the sliced onion and allow to cook for about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the onion/garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
- Pour the broth mixture into the slow cooker and place lid on top.
- Cook on high for about 4 hours, or low for 6 hours. Beef should be very tender once cooked.
- Carefully remove meat and shred or slice thinly.
- Using a strainer, pour the juices from slow cooker to separate the onions from the broth mixture.
- Place meat and onions back into the slow cooker to keep warm.
- Pile meat and onions onto each roll and top with a cheese slice.
- To melt cheese, if desired, place under a oven broiler for a few minutes.
- Once cheese is melted, serve immediately with a side of au jus for dipping!!
