Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 Slow Cooker
- 1 Stove
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb Chuck Roast
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 12 oz beer
- 1 package of Au Jus gravy
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- Sub rolls
- Provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chuck roast on all sides.
- Put the seared chuck roast in a crockpot.
- Add sliced onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, beer, beef broth, and Au Jus packet to the hot skillet stirring and letting it simmer.
- Pour the onion and gravy mixture over chuck roast in the crock pot and let cook on low for about 8 hours. Shred the meat and discard any extra fat.
- Next, toast the bread. I like to place the bread on a sheet pan in the oven at 400 degrees F for a few minutues.
- Build sandwiches on toasted sub rolls with the meat and provolone cheese. Put them back in the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Enjoy!
Notes
See my Frequently Asked Questions section for more tips!
- Searing the chuck roast before adding it into the crockpot helps brown the meat and adds great flavor to the meat and the gravy mixture.
- If you don't want to use beer, you could use more beef broth instead.
- I cook my roasts on low for 8 hours, so the meat is nice and tender.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chuck roast.
- I prefer to use Chuck Roast, but just about any roast will work.
- Any beer will work for this recipe. The darker the beer the more flavor it will give. I usually use a Lighter beer because that is usually what we have in the refrigerator.
