Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich

 

To make the best French dip sandwiches, there are a few tips to keep in mind:

  1. Choose a good quality beef roast. Look for a cut with plenty of marbling, as this will add flavor and help keep the meat moist during the slow cooking process.
  2. Season the roast well. A little garlic and onion powder go a long way in adding flavor to the beef.
  3. Don't skimp on the broth. The broth is what gives French dip sandwiches their signature flavor, so be sure to use a good quality beef broth and don't be afraid to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for extra depth of flavor.
  4. Toast the hoagie rolls. Toasting the rolls before filling them with the beef helps to add a nice crust and keeps the sandwiches from getting soggy.
  5. Experiment with variations. Try adding sautéed onions and peppers to the sandwiches, or try different types of melty cheese such as provolone or Swiss. You can also experiment with different types of broth, such as chicken or vegetable, to change things up.

 

 

With these tips in mind, you'll be on your way to making the best French dip sandwiches. Let's get cooking!

 

 

Ingredients Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich

 

For this easy recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 lbs beef chuck or rump roast: The beef chuck roast is the main ingredient in these French dip sandwiches. It is a flavorful and relatively inexpensive cut of beef that is perfect for slow cooking. Look for a roast with plenty of marbling, as this will add flavor and help keep the meat moist during the cooking process.
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans condensed French onion soup: The French onion soup adds flavor and moisture to the beef as it cooks. It also helps to create a rich and flavorful au jus sauce for dipping the sandwiches. I always keep the condensed french onion soup and beef consommé on hand, stocking up when I get them on BOGO at Publix.
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can beef consommé: The beef consommé is another flavorful addition to the broth. It adds richness and depth of flavor to the dipping sauce.
  • Provolone cheese: The provolone cheese is optional, but it adds a nice creamy texture and nutty flavor to the sandwiches. You can use other types of cheese if you prefer, such as Swiss or cheddar.
  • Sub rolls or preferred rolls: You will need some kind of roll or bun to serve the sandwiches on. Sub rolls or hoagie rolls work well, but you can use any type of roll that you prefer.
  • Optional: Garlic powder, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions: These vegetables are optional, but they add a nice spice/crunch and flavor to the sandwiches. You can sauté them in a pan before adding them to the sandwiches, or you can simply slice them and add them raw.

 

This recipe's cooking time is several hours, but it's unwatched hours. I love that I can put it in and after several hours simply see if it pulls apart. The meat is at it's most tender and juiciest, flavorful beef state after cooking slow and low and tender enough to fall apart.
