crockpot french dip

Slow cooked shredded beef and au jus make the most delicious French Dip Sandwiches ever!

French Dip Sandwiches

low-sodium beef broth

soy sauce

onion (I personally like 2 T!)

garlic powder

salt

black pepper

oregano,

thyme

bay leaf

red pepper flakes

(approx. beef

French steak rolls

Provolone cheese (or 12 slices, if you want double the cheese)

Make Sauce

In the crockpot, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, minced onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. 

Season Roast

Place the roast in the cooker and season lightly with salt and black pepper on all sides. Spoon the sauce over the top.

Slow Cook &amp; Shred

Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 5 to 6 hours, until the meat easily shreds. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return the meat to the cooker and stir it into the au jus (leftover juice).

Toast Rolls

Optional: Position the top oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place opened steak rolls or ciabatta rolls on the baking sheet and broil 1-2 minutes until toasted inside. Remove from oven. 

Build Sandwiches

Using a slotted spoon, add a layer of the shredded meat (be sure to drain the liquid first) to the roll. Top with 1 or 2 slices of cheese. Optional: Place the opened up sandwiches back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted. 

Serve

Serve the sandwiches warm, with the juices from the cooker in small bowls alongside for dipping.

So good! Made this for the first time tonight and the whole family loved it. Even my picky eater!

Made this last week. The flavors were great, and the meat was so tender.  My husband said the beef flavor was better than a beef restaurant nearby!

These French Dip Sandwiches are decadent and mouthwatering! Simply throw a roast and a few other ingredients into a crockpot, slow cook all day long, and turn the shredded meat into the best grilled sandwiches ever.

These toasty Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches are made with slow cooked roast beef and served on crusty rolls with melty cheese and savory au jus. So good!

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

olive oil

beef

Kosher salt

pepper

onion soup mix

water

beef broth

cheese

crusty rolls ((we like ciabatta))

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, generously season all sides of the chuck roast with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

When the oil starts to shimmer, carefully place the roast in the hot pan and sear it on all sides by letting it sit without moving for a minute or two on each side before flipping it. Searing won't take very long - you just want to quickly brown the roast to add flavor and seal in the juices.

Transfer the roast and the pan juices to your slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and add water and beef broth. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.

When the meat is so tender that it shreds easily with a fork, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred. Serve by piling the shredded meat onto sliced, crusty rolls with a slice of Swiss cheese. Toast the cheese and top bun under the broiler until the cheese melts and the bun starts toasting. Serve with the juices from the slow cooker as au jus for dipping.

The recipe calls for 2 - 1 oz pkg onion soup 
Does that mean 2 pkg? I’m not sure if they’re 1oz or not. 
Also instead of beef broth could I use 2 pkg au jus with water?
I’m planning to make this on Sunday so your quick reply is appreciated. Thank you.

Earlier in the year, my family and I started making French dips at home. I have tried a few recipes and they were ok. One day I came across this recipe and thought I'd give it a try. We love this one so much. So much flavor and tastes amazing. To this day months later we still go to this recipe for the dips. Thank you so much for this recipe. My family and I all love it.

I love how simple yet delicious this recipe is! I only used one onion soup packet and one cup of water. I also subbed some of the beef broth with broth from a beef ramen noodle packet because I didn’t want to go to the store haha. It still turned out great. I also added some Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. The jus was remarkably better the second day after I was able to remove the cooled, hardened fat from the top of the container I stored it in in the fridge. I’m wondering if there would be a way to remove that fat before serving the first night.

This recipe was so flavorful and super easy to make. I highly recommend and will definitely be making it again. Leftovers are just as good the next day.

I made this for a family dinner. I was having 7-8 people so I doubled the ingredients, it did make a lot of broth but the meat was so tender and easy to pull apart. Everyone loved it!

I wish I could give this 10 stars!  

I had to use "beefy onion" soup and dip mix because my store was out of the kind in the recipe.

I added 1T Worcestershire sauce to the liquid.

Not only is this a delicious French Dip but it's probably my most flavorful and tender roast I've ever made.

Christmas Eve dinner was a success!

Hi. Would beef consomme add more flavor? Or is there really no difference?
Thank you,
Camilla

I was excited to try this recipe after reading the reviews. I love French dip with as jus. However, I was disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly using the instant pot. I did not taste any flavor except the fat from the meat. Which kind of turned my stomach. The piece of meat I had was not overly fatty either. I’m not sure what went wrong.

This was AMAZING! Super simple and easy to make with a newborn in my arms. Tossed it in and voila, a few great meals for the week. We used leftovers with salads and other sandwiches. My husband loved it!
