Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 French baguette, sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Sear the roast in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust forms. Remove the roast and set it aside.
In a slow cooker, add the sliced onion to create a base layer.
Place the seared roast on top of the onions.
Pour the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme over the roast and onions.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the roast is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the liquid in the slow cooker.
Strain the remaining cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve to create the au jus, and keep it warm for serving.
To assemble, slice the French baguette into sandwich-sized portions and toast them lightly. Optional: Add slices of provolone cheese and melt them on the bread before adding the shredded beef.
Pile the shredded beef onto the bread, serve with a small bowl of warm au jus for dipping, and enjoy your French Dip Roast!
