French Dip Sandwiches- slow cooker

 

2 T olive oil

2 1/2 - 3 lb. Chuck roast (I order my beef from Snake River)

Kosher salt

Pepper freshly ground

2 1 ounce packages of dry onion soup 

2 C water 

2 cans of Beef broth

 

Crusty rolls- I use Ciabatta 

Butter 

Optional - Provolone cheese

 

 Season the Chuck roast with salt and pepper while heating the olive oil in a large skillet.

 

When the oil is sizzling, brown the roast on all sides.

  

 Put the roast in the slow cooker and add the dry onion soup, the water and the broth.

 

Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10.

 

When the meat is tender. Take out of the cooker, and slice thin or shred on a cutting board. I use a electric knife that I have had for 40+ years to slice thin.

 

Butter the Ciabatta and broil until toasty on top. 

 

Pile the thinly sliced meat on the rolls, put a slice of provolone on top if you like. If you put the provolone on, broil quickly to melt.

 

Strain the juices of the slow cooker into small ramekins and serve! 

 

Serve with french fries, salad, chips or pickles! 

 

 

 Meet our new family member, Brody! Brody came to us at less than 5 lbs, now he is a whopping 8.2 lbs! He is a Cavapoo, a mix of a 8 lb poodle (sire) and a 12 lb Cavalier King Charles (dame). Needless to say he is our new obsession! We even shortened our annual trip to Jamaica by a week and cancelled our 4 month world cruise because of this heart melting puppy. We just can't be away from him!
