Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef chuck roast
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1 dry onion soup mix (one packet)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional for added depth of flavor)
• 6 French rolls or baguette, sliced
• 6 Provolone cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and set aside.

Step 2

In a large slow cooker, combine beef broth, soy sauce, dry onion soup mix, minced garlic, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 3

Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily shredded.

Step 5

Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks.

Step 6

Strain the liquid from the slow cooker through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or saucepan to create a smooth au jus for dipping.

Step 7

To assemble the French dip sandwiches, lightly toast the French rolls or baguette slices if desired. Pile the shredded beef onto the rolls and top with Provolone cheese if using.

Step 8

Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of au jus on the side for dipping.
