Ingredients
Scale
For the Roast
- 3-4 pounds chuck roast
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 cups beef broth
For Serving
- 4-6 pieces crusty rolls
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Horseradish sauce
- Caramelized onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Roast: Season the chuck roast lightly and place it into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix evenly over the roast, then pour 2 cups of beef broth around the meat to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Cook Slowly: Cover and cook the roast on low for approximately 8 hours (480 minutes) until the meat is tender and easy to shred. This slow cooking process ensures the beef absorbs all the savory flavors.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the roast is done, shred the meat directly in the slow cooker with the cooking juices. Slice the crusty rolls and place shredded beef on each. Top with sliced provolone cheese and allow it to melt slightly from the heat of the meat. Add caramelized onions and a dollop of horseradish sauce for extra flavor. Serve immediately for a delicious French Dip experience.
Notes
- For an extra dip, strain the cooking juices and heat them separately to serve as au jus for dipping the sandwiches.
- Caramelize onions ahead of time or use store-bought for convenience.
- Using crusty rolls like hoagie or baguette-style bread will provide the best texture contrast.
- Adjust the amount of horseradish sauce based on your spice preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
