You all know how much I love to use my slow cooker! Today’s recipe is a great beef dip sandwich also know as the French dip. I have shared other versions before including the Shockingly Simple French Dip Sandwiches and Slow Cooker Italian Roast Beef. So you may wonder why another recipe. Well, they may all be similar, but they each have their own unique flavor to the dish and each are all equally delicious. Today’s version is one I adapted from Joelen’s Cuilary Adventures.
Best Ever Beef Dip Sandwiches
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 6 cups water
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
- rolls or buns
- sliced provolone
- Combine garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, soy sauce, and water in a slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Place the roast in the liquid in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-10 hours.
- Remove roast from slow cooker and shred. Place liquid from slow cooker in another container and remove bay leaf. Return shredded beef to slow cooker. Add a small amount to the reserved liquid. Add just enough to make the beef nice and moist.
- Place slice rolls or buns on a baking sheet. Place one slice of provolone on each roll. Place on the center rack of an oven under the broiler. (placing it on the center rack prevents burning) Broil until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
- Serve meat on the rolls or buns along side reserved liquid for dipping.
This recipe is to die for! Made this for my husband and in-laws and it was a huge success! I have used other recipes before but after finding this one through another recipe on pinterest, I will never look back. It is now a dinner night staple in our home and the look on my hubby’s face when I tell him what I’m making for dinner is priceless. Thank you real mom kitchen!
Had this for dinner tonight. WOW. I would easily pay $10-12 for this in a restaurant and we made it for about $2 per serving. We will DEFINITELY be making these again!!
I made this last week and it was great! The hubs told me (through a full mouth) that I must keep it in our regular rotation and I totally agree. Super easy and super yummy. =) Thanks so much for the recipe. I’m posting a link to you on my blog.
I just LOVE french dip sandwiches, and these look top notch!
I’m a slow cooker misfit. For some reason I can’t get meat to have the right texture when I use a slow cooker. It got so bad that I just sold my cooker at a yard sale for $5 a few years ago.
Well I’m BACK. with a much smaller cooker. Trying out the recipe later this week.
Perfect, I need some slow cooker recipes desperately! This looks great!
This looks like a great flavor combination! There’s something so comforting about shredded beef sandwiches – I love them!
YUM! This is just what I was looking for. Can’t wait to try it!
these beef dip sandwiches look so yummy!! i’m putting this on my grocery list! thanks
