How To Make Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker French Dip

1. Prepare the Beef: Place the beef chuck roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Pour in the entire jar of pepperoncini with its liquid and add the beef broth. Cover and set the slow cooker on low. Let it cook until the beef is tender enough to pull apart, which should take about 7 to 8 hours.
2. Caramelize the Onions: When the beef has about 15 minutes left to cook, start on the onions. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are tender and golden brown, around 10 minutes.
3. Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Use two forks to shred it into pieces, then return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to keep it warm.
4. Toast the Rolls: Turn on the broiler. Arrange the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet and spread each with a tablespoon of butter. Place under the broiler and toast for about 2 minutes, or until golden.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Pile a generous amount of beef onto each toasted roll. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over the beef for extra flavor. Add a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and a good amount of caramelized onions on top of the beef. Place two slices of provolone cheese on each sandwich and broil again just until the cheese melts, which should take about 1 minute.
6. Serve: Enjoy the sandwiches hot with potato chips on the side. Use the extra cooking liquid as a dip for the sandwiches.
7. Store Leftovers: If there are leftovers, let the beef cool completely. Then, place it in a resealable freezer bag with some of the cooking liquid and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, thaw it in the refrigerator, reheat thoroughly, and assemble the sandwiches as before.

What To Serve With French Dip

How To Store French Dip

In The Fridge:

Place leftover French Dip beef in an airtight container with some of the cooking juices. It will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
