Kittencal's Crock Pot French Dip Roast

"Use only low sodium soy sauce and beef broth for this, my family likes spicy so I add in some crushed chili flakes also, I have left the onion powder or onion flakes as optional if you are an onion-lover then you might want to include it --- any leftover beef gravy may be frozen to use later for gravies or soup bases"

  1. This was amazing! The smell in the house all day was mouth-watering. I followed the recipe exactly. When the meat was done I toasted hoagie rolls, melted mozzerella cheese and added sauteed onions & mushrooms & mild horseradish sauce. We had alot of leftovers and will be making other dishes as well. This was the best french dip we have ever had...Thankyou!
     
  2. Truly delicious! Made as directed for day 1, day 2 thickened the juices and made more of a beef and gravy mixture, and tonight I am making a pot pie out of the remaining beef and "gravy". Very good and highly recommended. Made for ZWT5.
     
  3. This was tasty, but the 2nd time I made it, I subbed one can of beef broth for a can of french onion soup, and the soy sauce for a can of beer...yum. Served on rolls with spicy jack cheese
     
  4. Threw this in the crock yesterday AM on my way to work (BONUS points for being quick & easy to set up in the morning!) and came home to a yummy-smelling house. Served on Italian rolls.....daughter loved it plain, son added cheese, husband added pepperoncini and everyone was happy. Thanks for sharing!

  1. Wow this was really good and easy to make. I made up the "broth" the night before and stored it in the fridge and then in the morning I put the roast and the broth in the crockpot. So it only took a minute to get this ready in the morning. I followed the recipe other then I used all beef broth instead of adding the water to cover. I added swiss to my sandwich and it was so yummy dipping it in the broth. Will make again. Great easy crockpot recipe.
