Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
2 T olive oil
1/2 large beef roast
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 pkgs dry onion soup mix
1 cups water
1 (14.5 oz) cans beef broth
6 - 8 slices of Swiss cheese
Crusty buns or rolls
1 (14.5 oz) cans beef broth
6 - 8 slices of Swiss cheese
Crusty buns or rolls
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium high heat. While oil is heating, sprinkle all sides of the roast with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
2. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the roast in the pan and sear it on all sides. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes you just want to quickly brown the roast to add flavor and seal in the juices.
3. Transfer the roast to your slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and add water and beef broth.
4.Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. You can also cook int on high until it begins to boil and then switch the heat setting to low; this is our preferred method but it's not always possible to be there to switch the heat setting in the middle of the day.
5. When the meat shreds easily with a fork, shred the entire roast. Serve on sliced crusty rolls with a slice of Swiss cheese. If desired, you can slide these under the broiler on your oven to toast the bun and melt the cheese. Serve with the juices from the slow cooker used for dipping.
