How Do I Make these Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches?
Season beef with salt, pepper, and oregano. Warm oil over medium-high heat on a large plan. Sear seasoned beef on both sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove beef and set aside.
Into the same pan, add sliced onions and saute until transparent, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic, and cook an additional 30 seconds.
Place onions and beef and remaining ingredients into a slow cooker. Close with lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low heat for 6-8 hours.
Once the beef is cooked, remove beef and set aside. Drain sauce over a colander into a large bowl. The juice leftover is the au jus that can be thickened. (See below.)
Shred beef and return to the slow cooker with some of the au jus to keep moist.
To assemble sandwiches, place cheese into the inside of a hoagie roll and toast in the oven over 450 degrees for a few minutes, or until cheese melts.
Top hoagie rolls with shredded beef. Serve with a side of au jus to dip sandwich into.
To Make Au Jus (Beef Broth):
Au jus can be served as is or can be thickened by cooking a slurry and adding in the au jus.
Melt butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add flour, whisk and cook for a minute and slowly whisk in the au jus.
