Where do I begin to describe these amazingly tender and luscious sandwiches. You know, I think I'm gonna call them sexy. Yes, I said sexy. These are the sandwiches you make for your man if you are trying to get a ring on your finger or maybe just trying to get him to finish that honey-do list or heck, maybe you just want to sweeten him up a bit. These will do the trick, I'm tellin' ya.
Maybe this is a better way to describe them: my husband is quiet the entire time he is eating these sandwiches. Did you hear me? Quiet. Not that he's a big talker normally. But we all know what it means when folks are super quiet as they eat the
food you just prepared.
food you just prepared.
It means my man was really enjoying this meal and that is bigger praise than any spoken compliment. We eat these with some homemade french fries and boy, was this a fantastic meal! And it was made in my slow cooker - whoopee!

| Ingredients: 3-4 lb. Beef Round Steak (or any type of beef roast) 1 packet Onion Soup Mix 1 packet Au Jus Seasoning 1 (15 oz) can of Beef Broth or Stock ½ cup water 4 slices mozzarella cheese Sub rolls |
Directions:
Put beef roast in slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine Beef broth, Onion soup mix, Au Jus seasoning and water and stir until combined. Pour mixture over beef, put cover on slow cooker and cook on low for
about 8 hours. An hour before serving, shred meat with two forks or take it out and slice thinly. Place meat back in the slow cooker for another hour.
When ready to serve, place several slices of beef on roll, add sliced mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler (or use broil option on toaster oven). Watch carefully, broil for just a couple of minutes until cheese is melted and roll is just slightly toasted.
Serve sandwich with a bit of Au Jus from the slow cooker (you may want to strain it first). Also, I added just a bit more beef broth to our Au Jus.
Cook's Note: Optional toppings include sauteed onions, green peppers and mushrooms.
Also, instead of the water, you can substitute with more beef stock if you like.

ReplyDeleteYou have the best, most comforting recipes, Brandie! This is something I haven't made in years, but after seeing your photos, I think French Dip sandwiches need to make an appearance on our menu!
ReplyDeletePS..do you think Bill will finally trim my red bud tree if I make these???! Worth a shot :)

ReplyDeleteI REALLY need to invest in a slow cooker. I cannot believe how many wonderful recipes there are.
ReplyDelete:-) Mandy
Brandie, you bring total new meaning to the sandwich! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am bummed- I would make this today but I have no au jus. Heading to the store after work- I am always looking for a no-fuss dinner that is ready when I come home from work!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Ths is another one I'm gonna have to put on my list! My hubby would definitely like this (I would too!) and it would be super easy for me to toss in the slow cooker before work.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT is what I need to do to get a ring on my finger?! haha those look seriously good. I can't imagine talking during eating one of those either...
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmmmm!

I used this recipe as a guideline and made something similar today. Thanks for posting it on Made by you Monday...you saved lunch today! :)
ReplyDeletetheres just something so homey about dipping into gravy/sauce... looks melt in your mouth delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time here and following now and that recipe looks fabulous! I'm a sucker for steak sandwiches:)
ReplyDeleteOh Bran, this looks FABULOUS! I love beef dip sandwiches, whenever we go to a new restaurant I always order that as my gauge of how good the restaurant will be. haha! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one great looking sandwich! Hubby would love this one. :)
ReplyDeleteThese sandwiches look so good! No wonder your husband can't talk when eating these, because his mouth is full of wonderful dripping au jus, beef and soft bread. Another added benefit is that you can make them in the slow cooker!
ReplyDeleteSandwich looks great. I want one or two. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Congrats on your new domain. Simple and delish! As always another great recipe to add.
ReplyDeleteWe love French dip style sandwiches and this one looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI saw this at the Tattertots & Jello link up party and had to check it out. I'm always looking for stuff to do with my crock pot and this looks super easy.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved French dip sandwiches, and I'll bet these are just wonderful. I love that they are done in the crock pot!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever heard of a beef sandwich called "sexy" before, but I have to agree that it just fits when the sandwich is good! And these look fantastic. So good that I might have to make a trip to the grocery store. Thanks for sharing the recipe, and for sharing about it in such a witty and clever way:) A Fun read!
ReplyDeleteWarmly,
Stephanie from Deviantly Domesticated
I am not a great cook and I don't eat much meat but... This looks really yummy! My family is always asking for more beef. This recipe looks doable even for me. I can't wait to try this out for my family!

Brandie I'm seriously thinking you need to write a cookbook! I LOVE all your recipes!
ReplyDeleteI've done something similar, except I let the meat cook until it falls apart and then I shred it. No slicing necessary and it's DELICIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best looking sandwich:)) Looks amazing, and finger licking..yumm!
ReplyDeleteI made these last night, and they were a huge hit! I will be making these for a tailgate this fall!
ReplyDeleteI made these last night for my family, and they were so yummy! My husband LOVED them, and my 2 and 4 year olds devoured them!
ReplyDeleteHi, this is Sandra from TX, originally from AL. My husband David is the one who grew up in Roanoke, VA and and loved going down to the market on Saturdays. I still need to get with you about that Chow-Chow. :) I bought the ingredients for Crock Pot Beef Dips and am making it tomorrow. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI just made these sandwiches and they they are seriously delicious!! It was also super easy getting it all going this morning.
ReplyDeleteMy grocery store didn't have a round steak so I used two top round roasts that totaled about 3.5 pounds.
Thanks for the recipe!!
How many servings does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteSpinningstars - I would say 4 servings. It depends on how high you pile it and if you use longer sub rolls..LOL. But you should be able to at least get 4 out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been CRAVING french dip for a ridiculously looong time. We made these on Friday and now its all I think about. Saying they're good is like saying the Grand Canyon is deep. They were fabulous. And sooo simple. Thanks for makin me look good.
ReplyDeleteHi RobinKay!! Yay!! So happy to hear you love this one!!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby left this on the counter with the ingredients (subtle hint)... I made this and it was a hit.
ReplyDeleteTrina..hahaha, yes that was VERY subtle! Love it! So happy y'all really liked this one. thank you so much for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteI have this in my crock now......hope it is as good as it looks!!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I'm new to the crock pot...Can I cook it on high for a shorter cook time?
ReplyDeleteI made these last night and they were awesome. The meat is so tender and the taste is out of this world! For dinner tonight, I reheated the leftover meat and juices, added another container of beef stock, a little more au jus and another packet of onion soup mix, let it cook for about an hour and then thickened it for gravy over mashed potatoes. The husband was in heaven!
ReplyDeleteCan this be cooked on low for 4 hours? I forgot to put it in earlier and my hubby is chomping at the bit to have these tonight!!
ReplyDeleteCan this be done in a shorter amount of time? 4-6 hours?
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Anonymous, the thing about this meat is it needs time to get tender. The longer it cooks, the more tender it gets. Now, you could certainly cook it for a shorter period of time and it will get done. But you may not get that butter-y tenderness that you would get if you let it hang out and cook all day. I hope that helps! ~Brandie
