ULTIMATE SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches are late to the game on this site. They are actually one of the first slow cooker sandwiches we used to make when we first started dating, but back then we weren’t quite as well versed in all the awesome tips in how to make them even more amazing.
The recipe for Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches which posted earlier is actually based on our recipe for this post as well as the grilled cheese sandwiches. The beer in this Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches recipe is the secret weapon to this sandwich.

1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
Note: click on times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer while cooking.
In a large dutch oven, or if you have an aluminum insert for your slow cooker add the canola oil and heat on high.
Add the Kosher salt and pepper to your chuck roast.
Brown on both sides aggressively (3-5 minutes on each side).
Don't move the beef before flipping (this lets the meat get a deep crust).
In a slow cooker add the meat, any meat juices from the pan, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, beer and onions.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove the meat and slice thickly.
To assemble, butter your hoagie rolls and toast.
Top with provolone cheese.
In a small bowl add a cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and dip the sandwich in the bowl.
