Report
Savory Roast Beef on crusty French bread, accompanied by a tasty dip (“au jus”), the French Dip Sandwich is a special lunch treat.

Ingredients
- 2 pound beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 onion halved and thinly sliced pole to pole, large
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups beef broth low sodium
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 French bread loaf
Instructions
- Salt and pepper your chuck roast on both sides. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large frying pan and sear the meat on each side until brown and crusty. Transfer meat to a plate
- Heat remaining oil in the same pan, add onions and cook until golden. Add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze the pan with a few tablespoons of beef broth and scrape up most of the browned bits.
- Place both the meat and onions in the Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven. Add the remaining broth, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf.
- Cook in the slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours, until the meat is tender. If using a Dutch Oven, oven bake at 300F for 2-3 hours until tender.
- Remove the meat to a cutting board, then slice off any remaining fat. Thinly slice the meat and set aside, keeping warm.
- Strain the juices from the slow cooker through a strainer and reserve (this is your "jus"). Separate the onions that remain in the strainer and save them. Discard the bay leaf, bones, and roast scraps.
- Slice French bread on a diagonal into sandwich-sized sections, then cut into top and bottom pieces. Toast if desired.
- Pile meat and onions onto bottom slice and replace bread top. For each sandwich, place 1/4 - 1/3 cup of "jus" in ramekin and serve on the side for dipping.
Notes
- I had quite a bit of "jus" left after serving this. This went into the freezer for a later soup or stew.
