Equipment
Method
- Place the beef roast in your slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together the au jus gravy mix, dry onion soup mix, and 1 cup of water. Pour this mixture over the beef.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat. Skim any excess fat from the liquid in the slow cooker.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the liquid. Let it heat through for about 15 minutes.
- To prepare the au jus for dipping, pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Add 1 cup of water. If desired, add butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until warm.
- Toast the hoagie rolls lightly, if desired. Spoon the shredded beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Serve immediately with the warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
You can add provolone cheese to the sandwiches before toasting for a French dip with cheese. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the au jus.
