Description

This Crockpot French Dip recipe creates tender, flavorful beef that simmers all day in a rich au jus. Served on crusty rolls with melted cheese and a savory dipping sauce, it’s the perfect comfort food for an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6–8 hoagie rolls or French rolls
  • 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)

 



Instructions

  1. Optional: Sear the Beef (For Extra Flavor):

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the beef roast on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
    • Transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot:

    • Add sliced onions to the bottom of the crockpot.
    • Place the beef roast on top of the onions.
  3. Make the Broth:

    • In a bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
    • Pour over the beef and onions.
  4. Cook:

    • Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is very tender and easy to shred.
  5. Shred the Beef:

    • Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
    • Return the shredded beef to the crockpot to keep it warm in the juices.
  6. Prepare the Sandwiches:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Slice the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
    • Fill each roll with shredded beef and top with a slice of cheese.
    • Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.
  7. Serve:

    • Strain the remaining juices from the crockpot to serve as au jus for dipping.
    • Serve the sandwiches warm with small bowls of au jus on the side.

 



Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: You can make the beef a day ahead and reheat it in the crockpot.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: The beef can be frozen with the juices for up to 3 months.
