Crock Pot French Dip Au Jus
Barbara found this recipe in the Pot O’Gold cookbook from our Great-Aunt Gertie’s church out in Imogene, Iowa, and it did not disappoint. Adding the cheese and putting the sandwiches back under the broiler takes them from a good sandwich to a delicious sandwich.
You do have to do a bit of prep work before it is ready for the slow cooker but cooking the onions in the butter and mixing together the seasonings is totally worth it.
Do you need a tool to easily shred beef? Buy a pair or kitchen shears.
To make these sandwiches truly amazing, serve them with a side of Au Jus and everyone will enjoy soaking their sandwiches in the juices.

Lightly brown onions in a skillet with butter. Mix together soy sauce, garlic, gravy mix and water, and add the onions. Place roast in crock pot and add onion mixture on top. Cook on low for up to 10 hours. Once roast is cooked, shred the beef and add it back to the juices. Butter your choice of bread and place under the broiler until toasted. Assemble the sandwiches and place back under the broiler to melt the cheese if desired. Serve with a side of the au jus for dipping.
