Description

These Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches are a classic and comforting meal that’s perfect for a crowd! Tender chuck roast is slow-cooked in a flavorful broth, then shredded and served on toasted rolls with melted provolone cheese and a side of au jus for dipping.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast (or rump roast, 2.5-4 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium bay leaf
  • 6 sub-style rolls (sausage rolls)
  • 2 tablespoons melted salted butter
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep Slow Cooker: Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Trim beef if needed.
  2. Season Beef: In a small bowl, combine oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub half of the seasoning over the beef. If using onions, place them on the bottom of the slow cooker. Place beef on top of onions (or directly in the slow cooker), seasoned side down. Rub remaining seasoning over the beef.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour beef broth along the edge of the slow cooker. Add Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours, or until beef shreds easily. Discard bay leaf.
  5. Shred Beef: Remove beef and let rest for 10 minutes. Shred with two forks.
  6. Toast Rolls: Preheat oven to broil. Lightly spray a baking sheet. Open rolls and place cut-side up. Brush both sides with melted butter. Cut cheese slices in half and place on top of rolls.
  7. Broil: Broil for 1-2 minutes, until cheese melts.
  8. Assemble Sandwiches: Top rolls with shredded beef. Strain broth from slow cooker and serve in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

  • Sliced onions can be served on top of the meat, but it complicates straining the au jus.
  • Use a sieve to strain the au jus.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
