Description

These Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches are melt-in-your-mouth tender, loaded with savory shredded beef, and finished with gooey provolone on toasted hoagie rolls. Simmered low and slow in a richly seasoned broth, they’re perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or game day crowd-pleaser just dip, bite, and enjoy every juicy, flavorful mouthful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic on top of the roast.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Pour the broth mixture over the roast and onions in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for about 8 hours, or on High for about 4 hours, until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding excess fat.
  6. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the cooking juices. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Preheat the broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  8. Pile a generous amount of shredded beef onto each roll and top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
  9. Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the rolls are lightly toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  10. Ladle some of the hot cooking liquid (au jus) into small bowls.
  11. Serve the sandwiches hot with the au jus on the side for dipping, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, sear the chuck roast in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • If the au jus tastes too salty, stir in a splash of water or low-sodium broth to balance it.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth if you prefer to better control overall saltiness.
