Beef Roast French Dip Sandwiches

Ingredients

  1. 3 to 5 lb. Beef Roast, sliced thin (*sliced thin - optional - see notes below)
  2. 2 medium yellow onions, sliced (*or your favorite type of onions)
  3. 2 (1 oz. Each) Au Jus packet (*ignore the instructions on the packet )
  4. 2 (1 oz, Each) Brown Gravy packet (*ignore the instructions on the packet)
  5. 4 cups cold water
  6. Hoagie Buns for serving
  7. Sliced Cheese for serving (*provolone, pepper jack or Swiss are tasty)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F. Grease your roasting pan or 9x13 pan.
  2. In a bowl or glass measuring cup mix all of the packets of au jus and brown gravy with the cold water. Whisk/mix it well.
  3. Pour half of the sauce/gravy in to the bottom of your greased pan.
  4. Place the roast in the center of the pan and place your onions on top of the roast and in the pan.
  5. Pour the rest of the sauce/gravy over the roast and onions.
  6. Cover your pan tightly with aluminum foil. I like to use Heavy Duty foil that is thicker and doesn’t tear as easy. I also double foil it to make sure it is sealed tight!
  7. Cook the beef roast for 6 hours. DO NOT CHECK ON IT.*If you have more than 4 pounds of meat you will need to cook the meat for 8 hours (or more). I would estimate about an hour to an hour and a half for each extra pound of meat.
  8. After the meat has cooked for 6 hours, take it out of the oven.
  9. Slice open a hoagie bun and add some cheese to it. Place the bun in your oven on broil to toast the bun and melt the cheese to your liking. (This is optional, you do not have to toast the bun and melt the cheese).
  10. Add the French Dip meat and onions to your bun and enjoy! I love to have a side of au jus to dip my sandwich in!
