The great thing cooking meat in a slow cooker is that the less expensive cuts of meat tenderize the best and don't dry out (which is why pulled pork is always so good in the slow cooker)! The low and slow cooking method gives you beef so tender you can easily shared it with a fork.

SLOW-COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 8h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce jar pepperoncini
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 soft hoagie rolls, split
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
12 slices provolone cheese
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • For the beef: Toss the roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their liquid and the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
  • For the caramelized onions: When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker to keep warm.
  • For the sandwich assembly: Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread each with a tablespoon of butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
  • Allow the leftover beef to cool completely, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag with a nice portion of cooking liquid and freeze for later use. When ready to serve, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat through and serve with additional sandwich fixings.

BARBECUE BEEF SANDWICHES - SLOW COOKER



Barbecue Beef Sandwiches - Slow Cooker image

Provided by Bobbie

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h15m

Yield 12 sandwiches, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 lb) boneless beef chuck roast or 1 (3 lb) thick sliced round steaks
1 3/4 cups your favorite barbecue sauce, divided
1/2 cup apricots or 1/2 cup peach preserves
1/2-1 whole bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
12 kaiser rolls or 12 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from beef. Cut beef into 4 or so pieces and place in a 4 to 5 quart slow cooker.
  • In medium bowl, mix 1 cup barbecue sauce along with the other ingredients, except buns.
  • Pour over beef in crock pot.
  • Cover, cook on low setting 7 to 8 hours or until beef is very tender - where it can be shredded with two forks (I usually start it off on high for an hour or so -- but I have a very, very old crock pot).
  • Remove beef and as many onions and peppers as you can. Shred beef and place in another pan or bowl.
  • This is where personal taste comes into play . . . . . there will quite a lot of juice in the crock pot. I only reserve about 3/4 cup of it and then add the remaining 3/4 barbecue sauce to it. I then add the shredded meat back into the new juice mixture.
  • Some people like their meat for their sandwiches a little on the drier side, while others like more sauce on theirs. I also always use Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce -- use your favorite brand and flavor.
  • I've also removed some if the shredded meat immediately after shredding and set aside to use in burritos and tacos. You can add some taco sauce or seasoning to it and it makes a great shredded meat for Mexican dishes.
