Finally, a meal I remember to blog about! This is an excellent slow cooker meal if you are going to be busy all day. Just a few minutes of prep in the morning and you're pretty much set minus putting the sandwiches together. I thought they were great paired with some frozen fries, but you could fancy up your side dish if you like!
Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 medium yellow onion, sliced thick
1 1/2 cup beef broth/stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3-4 lb boneless beef chuck roast
salt and pepper
sandwich rolls (I used ciabatta rolls)
provolone slices
Directions:
Keeping the onion rounds in tact, place in bottom of crockpot. Add all liquid ingredients to crockpot.
Salt and pepper both sides of the roast and place on top of the onions.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until beef is fall-apart tender.
Transfer beef to a large mixing bowl and shred with two forks. Remove onions and set aside.
Skim fat from top of jus. Return shredded beef to the crockpot (on “keep warm” setting) until ready to serve.
Preheat broiler. Place split rolls on baking sheet and toast for 1-2 minutes or until they begin to brown.
Remove tops from pan. Scoop beef and onions onto the bottoms of the rolls and top with cheese.
Return to oven just until cheese is melted. Top with bun tops and serve with jus.
