Slow Cooker French Beef Sandwiches


  • 1-1.5 lbs beef roast (I used stew meat)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix
  • 1 c. water
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 4 large buns or 6 small rolls
  • Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and rub roast with salt and pepper.

When very hot, carefully place roast in pan and sear on all sides. You're not cooking the meat, you're just browning it quickly on all sides to add flavor and seal in the juices.

Place in slow cooker and sprinkle with onion soup mixes. Pour water and beef broth over roast.
Cook 8 hours on low or cook 4 hours on high. You ‘ll know it's done when you put a fork in it and the meat just falls apart. When meat is ready, shred with a fork.

Place meat in crusty rolls. Top with cheese and broil open-faced in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Ladle juices into small cups for dipping and enjoy!
