Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches With Caramelized Onions 8pp Recipes

SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Season roast with salt and pepper. Keep aside.
• Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick pot or pan and sear all the sides until golden brown.
• Transfer meat to your slow cooker.
• In the same pot or pan you browned the meat, add onions, garlic and saute for a few minutes until garlic is fragrant.
• Add beer and deglaze the pan, scraping all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer this onion mixture and all the juices to the slow cooker.
• Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, additional salt and pepper (if necessary). Mix.
• Cover and cook on High heat for 3-4 hours or on Low heat for 5-6 hours or until meat is very tender.
• Transfer meat to a serving dish and shred it with 2 forks.
• Discard the bay leaf.
• Strain liquid remaining in crockpot through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and serve this strained Au jus with sandwiches for dipping. On busy days, I just skip this straining step and shred the meat in the crockpot and it still tastes really good.
• Transfer the shredded meat and the onions back into the slow cooker. Pour over a little bit of au jus to moisten the meat.
• Pile meat onto toasted buttered rolls.
• Top with cheese. Heat in oven on broiler setting until cheese starts melting. I also added some sliced jalapenos because I really like them.
• Enjoy with the strained Au jus. If there is not enough Au jus for everyone, mix in a a little more broth to the Au jus.

SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS 8PP

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the roast, then place in the slow cooker. Pour the broth into the side of the roast until it just cover the meat. If the broth doesn't cover the roast you can add water and top with onions. Add the Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns and bay leaf to the broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat flakes apart easily with a fork, about 9 to 12 hours, depending on the size of your roast. An hour before the meat is done, prepare the onions and peppers. In a large nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and cook until golden, stirring often, reducing heat as needed if the onions are burning or browning too quickly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Add 1 tbsp to the pan if it becomes too dry. The onions should turn golden and the flavor should be sweet. Transfer to a serving bowl, then add the peppers to the skillet and cook stirring often until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the slow cooker to a cutting board and shred with a fork or slice with a knife. Strain the broth through a fine sieve then place in a gravy separator to remove any fat. Pour 1/4 cup broth into each small ramekin. Preheat the oven to broil. Split the bread open and top with 2 ounces of beef. Top with onions, peppers and cheese and broil until the cheese melts. Place on a plate with broth for dipping. Nutrition based on: 2 oz whole wheat baguette, 2 oz cooked beef round, 1/4 cup beef broth, 1 slice cheese, onions & peppers.
