Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches are tender, flavorful beef sandwiches slow-cooked to perfection with a savory au jus broth. This easy recipe combines a chuck roast with rich seasonings and onions, served on toasted French rolls with melted provolone cheese, perfect for a comforting meal with a delicious dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (or homemade)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

  • 4 French rolls or hoagie buns
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of choice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Place the beef chuck roast in the crockpot. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix (if using) and au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast to infuse flavor from the start.
  2. Add liquids and onions: Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast. Add the sliced onion around the beef to cook alongside and add depth to the broth.
  3. Cook the beef: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Shred the beef: Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it into bite-size pieces using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
  5. Prepare the sandwiches: Toast the French rolls or hoagie buns until lightly browned. Divide the shredded beef evenly between the toasted rolls and top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
  6. Serve with au jus: Serve the sandwiches warm alongside a bowl of the flavorful au jus broth from the crockpot for dipping. Enjoy the melty, savory goodness!

Notes

  • You can omit the ranch dressing mix if you prefer a more traditional flavor.
  • For a homemade au jus, you can use beef broth with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce instead of store-bought packets.
  • Leftover beef can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers with a little broth to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Optional toppings include sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra richness.
