Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches are a cozy and flavorful slow-cooked meal featuring tender shredded beef on toasted rolls with melty provolone cheese and rich, garlicky au jus for dipping. Perfect for family dinners or game day.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 lbs chuck roast or rump roast
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 hoagie or French rolls
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for toasting rolls)

Instructions

  1. Season the roast with salt and pepper. Place in the crockpot.
  2. Add sliced onions, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until beef is tender and shreds easily.
  4. Remove beef and shred with two forks. Strain the broth and discard herbs and solids.
  5. Toast rolls with butter or olive oil in the oven or skillet until golden.
  6. Layer shredded beef on rolls, top with provolone, and return to oven to melt cheese.
  7. Serve hot with a small bowl of strained au jus for dipping.

Notes

  • Add sliced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Use red pepper flakes or pepperoncini for a spicier version.
  • Swap provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese.
  • Use whole wheat rolls or leaner beef for a lighter meal.
  • Freeze shredded beef in au jus for future meals.
