CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES
I have another tried and true French Dip recipe and also use another great one here on 'zaar, but when I went to make it the other day, I was lacking all of the ingredients to make either...so the following was born. Turns out everyone liked it better than either of my previous ones, so I figured I better post it for posterity!

Steps:
- Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
- Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
- Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
- Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
- Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
- Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.

FRENCH ONION DIP SANDWICHES (SLOW COOKER)
This combines the greatness that is French onion soup with French dips. It is not supposed to be an 'authentic' French dip recipe, because authentic is often boring. These are yummy sandwiches for those that like roast beef and French onion soup. It is mainly on the slow cooker, but it requires a bit of prep on the stove, too.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large, deep pot. Add onions and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until onions start to brown, about 15 minutes more.
- Stir sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the onions in the pot. Continue to cook, stirring once halfway through, until onions are well-browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir 3 tablespoons of water into the pot, scraping bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 3 minutes; repeat with an additional 3 tablespoons water. Simmer for 3 minutes more and repeat. Add vermouth; scrape bits from the bottom and sides of the pot. Cook for 4 minutes more. Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Add black pepper. Discard bay leaf. Remove pot from heat and allow soup to cool. Pour into the slow cooker, but don't turn it on.
- Trim any excess fat from the rump roast. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pot over high heat. Cook the meat, holding it down with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat carefully to the slow cooker. Spoon the soup over the meat so that it is topped with a few onions. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours.
- Remove meat from the slow cooker. Slice it diagonally and return slices to the slow cooker. Continue to cook on Low for 2 hours more.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread rolls with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; place face-down on a baking sheet.

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil rolls until cheese is slightly bubbly and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Remove meat from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Place on the rolls. Serve soup on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Cut any large hunks of fat off the brisket then season it generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the brisket to the hot oil and cook until browned on all sides, 2-4 minutes per side. Place the onion, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot followed by the brisket. Sprinkle with garlic cloves, rosemary, and bay leaves. Add the broth and wine then fill with enough water to cover all of the beef and vegetables. Cook on low for 8 hours, then high for an additional hour.** Remove the bay leaves before serving. For the Sandwiches: Remove the brisket from the crockpot and shred it. Butter both sides of the buns then place them under the broiler on low for 2 minutes or until browned and toasted. Pile the bottom half of the buns with the briskets and a few onions followed by 1-2 slices Swiss cheese. Place that half of the sandwich back under the broiler for another 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top with the other half of the sandwich bun. Use the remaining broth from the crockpot as the "dip" for the sandwiches. Dunk and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or bottom round roast are good choices for slow cooker French dip sandwiches. These cuts of beef are tough, but the slow cooking process will tenderize them.
- Brown the beef before cooking. Browning the beef before cooking will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat, or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.
- Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. The liquid will help to keep the beef moist and tender. You can use beef broth, water, or a combination of both.
- Cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the beef roast and the type of slow cooker you are using.
- Shred the beef before serving. Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces.
- Serve the beef on hoagie rolls with your favorite toppings. Classic toppings for French dip sandwiches include melted cheese, caramelized onions, and horseradish sauce.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker French dip sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd.
