Drip Beef Sandwich Food

SLOW-COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toss the beef roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their brine, along with the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
• When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker. Keep warm.
• Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and the extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.

CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
• Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
• Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
• Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
• Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
• Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
• Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.
