Description

This Crockpot French Dip Sandwich recipe offers a juicy, tender beef roast slow-cooked in flavorful broth and seasonings. Served on hoagie buns with melted Provolone cheese and accompanied by savory au jus for dipping, these sandwiches are perfect for an easy, satisfying meal with minimal prep and hands-off cooking time.

Ingredients

Beef and Seasoning

  • 5 pounds top or bottom round beef roast
  • 2 ounces au jus mix
  • 1.4 ounces Italian dressing mix

Liquids

  • 32 ounces beef broth

Sandwich Assembly

  • 8 hoagie buns
  • 8 slices Provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the crockpot and place the beef roast inside. Begin by setting up your crockpot and placing the entire beef roast inside the slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season with au jus mix and Italian dressing mix. Sprinkle the au jus mix and Italian dressing mix evenly over the roast to infuse robust flavors throughout the meat as it cooks.
  3. Pour beef broth over the roast and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Cover the roast with the beef broth, then cook on the low setting of your crockpot for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and soak up the savory broth.
  4. Remove roast, slice thinly, and assemble sandwiches with Provolone cheese. Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and slice it thinly against the grain. Place the sliced beef on hoagie buns and top each with a slice of Provolone cheese.
  5. Warm sandwiches in the oven, unwrap, and serve with reserved broth for dipping. Warm the assembled sandwiches in the oven until the cheese melts and the bread is slightly toasted. Then unwrap them and serve alongside the reserved cooking broth for dipping, enhancing every bite with additional moisture and flavor.

Notes

  • For best flavor, slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • The reserved broth doubles as a delicious dipping sauce, so don’t discard it.
  • Adjust cooking time if your crockpot runs hotter or cooler than average.
  • You can add caramelized onions or horseradish for extra flavor in the sandwiches.
  • Using beef broth with low sodium helps control salt levels in the final dish.
