Description
Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches are packed with tender, flavorful beef slow-cooked in a rich broth with onions, garlic, and herbs, then piled onto crusty rolls, topped with melted provolone cheese, and served with a warm bowl of savory au jus for dipping. It’s an easy dinner that tastes gourmet with every bite.
Ingredients
2.5–3 lb chuck roast
4 cups beef broth
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
8 slices provolone cheese
6 crusty French rolls or hoagie buns
Instructions
1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and place it in the slow cooker.
2. Add sliced onion, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and rosemary on top of the roast.
3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
4. Remove the roast and shred using two forks. Strain the broth to remove solids and set aside for au jus.
5. Lightly toast your rolls if desired. Place shredded beef onto each roll and top with provolone cheese.
6. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve hot with warm au jus on the side for dipping.
Notes
For deeper flavor, sear the roast in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
Use low-sodium broth if you’re watching salt levels, especially with soy sauce included.
Make it spicier by adding red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the broth.
