Yesterday I was giving my husband several options for Sunday dinner and as soon as I said french dip sandwiches, he didn't care about any other options. The men in our family love this meal, come to think of it, so do us girls. It is one of the easiest meals I can think of. And only four ingredients!French Dip Sandwiches
Roast, I used a cross rib roast
deli sub rolls
butter
au jus, found in a packet with the gravy mixes
1. To cook the roast to perfection - (this is my mom's method and anyone that has ever had roast at her house knows she makes THE very best roast. It is always cooked to perfection, falls apart and is so moist. ) The night before put your roast (I always put it on frozen, just becasue that is how I store them) in a dutch oven size pan with the lid on. Put it in the oven at 200 degrees and leave it in for twelve hours. If you take it out and it doesn't fall apart, put it back in for another hour. Take it out when it is done and put it in the fridge until dinner.
2. Butter rolls and put them under the broiler until golden brown.
3. Make au jus according to packet directions.
4. Place shredded beef on toasted roll, salt and serve with a side of au jus.
I told you it was easy!
Aileen made this recipe on Thursday, and we all agreed it beat any restaurant sandwich we'd ever had. And so simple too!
ReplyDeleteJust a thought...instead of spreading with butter, try putting a slice of cheese on and melt it. My family loves it with cheese.
ReplyDeleteDo you add any water when cooking the roast?
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I don't add any water. Simply put the roast (mine is always frozen, either way is fine) in with a lid on the pan. Sometimes I will wrap the roast in foil before placing it in the pan. I hope you like it! I have never had it not turn out perfectly tender and falling apart. Good luck!
