How to Make Beef Dip
- Place a 3-4 pound beef roast in your slow cooker.
- Add 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, 1 sprig fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Keep the shredded beef warm.
- Strain the cooking broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, discarding the solids.
- Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the strained broth.
- Pour the broth into oven-safe cups or ramekins.
- Serve the shredded beef on toasted rolls with a generous helping of the flavorful au jus for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
