Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches

This delicious dinner is something unique at our house.  We don’t often eat meat, let alone beef.  But, when we do, I love having ways to cook it in our crockpot.

 
We’ve made Swiss Steak, Boeuf Bourguignon, Broccoli Beef & Philly Cheesesteaks  in the crockpot.  But, Frog Prince has asked for French Dip Sandwiches time and time again.  Since I don’t think I’ve ever had one, I didn’t know what to look for in a recipe.  But, this one caught my attention {and made my Friday Favorite Finds!} due to the addition of a good, dark beer. 

Since I don’t have a whole lot to compare it to, I can’t say if it’s a French Dip Sandwich or not, but I can say that it’s good! 

Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches – Adapted from Shugary Sweets

Ingredients

• 3 lb. beef roast (rump roast recommended)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. Grill Seasoning
• 1 T minced onion
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• a few cranks of sea salt & black pepper
• 1 C beef broth
• 12 oz. dark beer
• Cheese, cheddar or provolone
• Hoagie Buns {like these}

Directions

Place the roast into your crockpot.  Season with the garlic, onion, salt, pepper and grill seasonings.  Then, add the broth and the beer to the crockpot.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. 

Carefully remove the beef and attempt to slice it… you may have better luck shredding it. 

Then, strain the au jus sauce. 

Serve the meat atop your favorite hoagie bun (we love these Italian Herb Rolls), with cheese. 

Serve the au jus on the side for dipping. 

Save the leftover au jus for stew or soup – the beer gives it a little something different. 

Enjoy!
