Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
Report
Succulent, tender beef slow-cooked to perfection, this French Dip Sandwich, also known as Beef Dip, is the ultimate comfort food you didn't know you needed. Imagine biting into a crusty roll loaded with slices of flavorful beef, caramelized onions, and gooey Swiss cheese. It's a symphony of textures and flavors, all elevated by the rich, savory au jus that you can generously dip your sandwich into.

Ingredients
- 4 pound ribeye loin boneless or chuck roast or sirloin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions sliced
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup white wine
- 3 cups beef broth low sodium
- 8 crusty rolls or French baguette
- 8 lices Swiss cheese optional
Instructions
- Tie the meat with kitchen twine if needed. In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper and oregano together. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture liberally and generously over the beef on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear it on all sides until a nice brown crust has formed.
- Add the remaining ingredients to your slow cooker and stir. Add the beef and pour some of the liquid over the meat.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or LOW for 4 to 6 hours. The meat will be done when the internal temperature reads 130℉-135℉ for medium-rare or 145℉ for medium. My beef was cooked to a medium, if you prefer more rare, check the meat after 2 hours on HIGH, or 4 hours on LOW.
- Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let it rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into it.
- In the meantime, pour the remaining liquid from the slow cooker through a fine mesh strainer. Reserve both the liquid and the onions for sandwiches. Discard the bay leaf.
- Slice the beef as thin as you can.
- To assemble the sandwiches, slice the rolls in half then pile some beef on the rolls, then top with onions and a slice of Swiss cheese, if preferred. Place the rolls under the broiler, if preferred, for a couple minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve them immediately with the reserved liquid/au jus to dip the sandwiches into.

Notes
- ℉
- ℉
- Meat Choices: While ribeye loin is my go-to for this recipe, chuck roast or sirloin work well too. The key is slow-cooking to achieve that fall-apart tenderness.
- Cheese Options: Swiss cheese is optional but highly recommended for that gooey, melty texture. You can also use provolone or mozzarella as substitutes.
- Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the internal temperature of the beef. Aim for 130-135℉ degrees for medium-rare or 145℉ degrees for medium. Cooking times can vary based on the cut and size of your beef.
- Straining Liquid: Don't skip straining the liquid from the slow cooker. It serves as your flavorful au jus for dipping, enhancing every bite.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm up the beef in the au jus to keep it moist when reheating.
