How to Make Beef Au Jus Sandwiches
- Place 1 large onion, thinly sliced, into a 3-4 quart slow cooker. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth.
- In a bowl, coat a 2-3 pound beef roast generously with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.
- Place the vinegar-coated beef roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle 1 packet of dry ranch dressing mix, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper evenly over the roast.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. You can cook longer for extra tenderness if desired.
- Remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, slice the roast thinly against the grain.
- Return the sliced beef to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine with the cooking liquid (au jus).
- Serve the beef on toasted hoagie rolls. Top with sliced bell peppers (about 1 cup), shredded Swiss and mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup total), and your favorite condiments such as mayonnaise.
- (Optional) Sprinkle a pinch of Cajun seasoning on the beef roast during cooking for an extra kick.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
