french dip sandwiches



I found this recipe for French Dip Sandwiches here, and decided to give it a try. They turned out really good, although I thought they were a lot of work and kind of expensive for not too much meat. Next time, I will make this recipe will a big piece of pork, because I think this will allow the meat to soak up the flavors of the spices better and give us more meat and less fat.

French Dip Sandwiches
4 pounds beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
3 bay leaves
1 cup soy sauce
6 cups water
Place roast in slow cooker. Season with garlic, rosemary, and bay leaves. Pour in soy sauce and water. Cook on low setting for 6 to 10 hours. Unlike most roasts, the longer the better. 
To serve, place in hamburger buns or split french bread and top with your preferred cheese if desired. Feel free to dip your sandwich in the au jus left in the slow cooker too! To make ahead/freezer meal - Place all the ingredients except the water into a gallon sized freezer storage bag; seal and freeze. When ready to prepare, defrost completely. Place contents into your slow cooker and add 6 cups of water. Cook on low setting for 6 to 10 hours. Unlike most roasts, the longer the better.
