Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

Meltingly tender roast beef piled onto crusty hoagie rolls, dipped into the richest, most savoury au jus you've ever made — with almost zero effort. A game-day and weeknight legend that never gets old.

⏱ 510 minServes 6American

Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp dried rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 hoagie or submarine rolls
  • 12 slices provolone or Swiss cheese slices
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat; sear roast for 3 minutes per side until browned all over.
  2. 2Place sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker; set seared roast on top.
  3. 3Whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper; pour over the roast.
  4. 4Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours until beef is fall-apart tender.
  5. 5Remove beef and shred or slice thinly; strain cooking liquid into a bowl to use as au jus.
  6. 6Pile beef onto split rolls, top with cheese slices, and broil open-faced for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. 7Serve with small bowls of warm au jus for dipping.

💡 Look for hoagie rolls in the bakery section of most Canadian grocery stores. If you can't find them, use a full baguette cut into sections. The au jus freezes beautifully — save it for a second batch.
