Ingredients

For French Dip and Au Jus

2 tablespoons butter
1-½ to 2 pounds extra thin-shaved chuck steak
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10.5 ounces condensed French onion soup
10.5 ounces beef consommé

For Assembly

4 6-inch hoagie rolls
4 slices provolone cheese
8 teaspoons Horseradish sauce

Instructions

Preparation

Leaving slices of 1-½ to 2 pounds extra thin-shaved chuck steak layered, trim any large pieces of fat and discard.
Still leaving the meat slices layered, slice meat crosswise and lengthwise if needed to create 4” squares of layered meat.

Slow Cooker Instructions

If you wish, sauté the beef in 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and transfer to slow cooker. You may skip this step and just place the meat and butter directly into the slow cooker together.
Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 10.5 ounces condensed French onion soup, and 10.5 ounces beef consommé to the slow cooker. Stir gently.
Set the slow cooker to high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours (time will vary based on the size of your slow cooker and how hot it cooks).
Stir gently to mix every hour or two.
Cook until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Sandwich Assembly

When the meat is near the end of cooking time, prepare 4 6-inch hoagie rolls by slicing lengthwise and toasting.
For each sandwich, spread about 2 teaspoons Horseradish sauce (or to taste) on one side and place a slice of provolone cheese on the other side.
Using tongs, carefully dip the beef out of the broth, draining excess au jus back into the slow cooker, and place it onto the hoagie rolls.
Using a ladle, strain au jus into each of 4 small dipping bowls. (Straining is optional.)
Serve sandwiches with au jus for dipping.

Notes

Nutrition information will vary depending in how much au jus is used. The nutrition data is calculated assuming that half of the au jus will be used.
