SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches. Tender pot roast cooked low and slow and served on crusty bread with provolone cheese. A super easy make ahead meal!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 1/2 pound chuck roast
- 1/2 onion quartered
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- onion rolls
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add olive oil to a large pot.
- Season chuck roast with salt and pepper. Add roast to the pan and sear over high heat until the roast is browned on all sides.
- Add the roast to the slow cooker along with the onion, beef broth and bay leaf.
- Cover and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours. (I have found cooking it on high for 4 hours is not enough time for the meat to become tender.)
- Remove roast from the slow cooker and slice or use forks and shred.
- Strain the onions from the broth (make sure to reserve liquid). Set aside to serve on top of sandwiches if desired.
- Skim fat from broth (if any). Set aside.
- To assemble the sandwich layer sliced or shredded beef on bread and top with two slices of provolone cheese.
- Place sandwiches under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with a side of broth.
